1. The most heartbreaking personal account story I've heard was on CNN yester
Edited on Wed Aug-31-05 01:49 PM by expatriot
day as a video clip. It was an interview on the street, this CNN reporter came up to this man and he started rambling about how his house had split in half wkpile they were on the roof. the reporter asked him who was there with him, he said his wife and his child (the child was the only one with him) the reporter asks "So where's your wife? and he said in the most hearthwrenching southern accent "She's gone... I lost her... I was holding on to her arm against the tide and she said, 'Baby, you can't save me... save our baby, take care of our kid... take care of our grandkids.'At this point the reporter is weeping and she asks him "Where are you going to now?" HE responds, "I'm lost, I'm so lost... she's all we had, she's all we had. God, the guilt." and then it cut away. I watched that one minute of footage 5 times yesterday, crying every time.

on edit: I hugged and kissed my wife so much yesterday because she is all I have.
