			<p>it feels like a year has passed in the last month. in the last three weeks. was it really just late august that I stood before the brilliant passing of the moon, my arms power-posed in the triumph of my innate awesomeness?</p>

<p>that week I transported myself from the crisp northwest pacific air to the southern thick humidity, as a veil of misty clouds lowered themselves over our bayou city. it was easy to find humility.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2177" src="http://oursommlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/B887AD6A-4351-4792-8B1E-D7FD4A0F67F3-450x450.jpeg" alt="" width="450" height="450" srcset="http://oursommlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/B887AD6A-4351-4792-8B1E-D7FD4A0F67F3-450x450.jpeg 450w, http://oursommlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/B887AD6A-4351-4792-8B1E-D7FD4A0F67F3-150x150.jpeg 150w, http://oursommlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/B887AD6A-4351-4792-8B1E-D7FD4A0F67F3.jpeg 653w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /></p>
<p>for four days the rains poured from the heavens, cleansing our city from the dirt and debris collected in our souls; our hearts spilling out into the bayous and causeways. for four days our lives were consumed. for all the days after we have thought nothing but Harvey. <i>there is still water standing today.</i></p>

<p>taking strides to pull ourselves from the disaster, we’ve tried on friends to help pull us through the heartache.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2179" src="http://oursommlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/1F65187D-B63D-4B5A-8D2F-4F82E6AAE6F3.jpeg" alt="" width="180" height="320" /></p>
<p><b>Joe and Irene Beach</b>, my parent’s closest confidants, have swallowed the pain immolating from my parents mouths and hearts and ongoing zeal.  they drove over 3 hours from San Antonio with delicious texan smoked turkey in one hand, and with over 100 packing boxes and materials in the other.</p>

<p><i>gems like these are hard to find</i>; their friendship stretching through various homes and terrain and fires and floods.  we don’t know what we would do without them.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2185" src="http://oursommlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/0B78860C-0D0D-42E0-8E1F-027B85502251-450x450.jpeg" alt="" width="450" height="450" srcset="http://oursommlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/0B78860C-0D0D-42E0-8E1F-027B85502251-450x450.jpeg 450w, http://oursommlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/0B78860C-0D0D-42E0-8E1F-027B85502251-150x150.jpeg 150w, http://oursommlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/0B78860C-0D0D-42E0-8E1F-027B85502251.jpeg 639w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /></p>

<p><b>Tom Anderson</b>, my Daddy’s <i>hometown Jackson County pal,</i> instead of running through fields and streets with baseballs and fishing poles with my young father, drove down from Terrell with an 18-foot horse trailer, 2 humidifiers, and some sheetrock to get the party started.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2184" src="http://oursommlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/42A8241A-08CD-45B7-AC60-B622817CC4B2.jpeg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></p>
<p>the hometown buds packed with diligence and vigor, pinpointing precisely what was to be carted away to storage, and what was to be left for my father to utilize while out of his flooded home.  (note the wine books made it to the temporary home.  a win for my dad’s new boss&#8230; the sommelier.)</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2182" src="http://oursommlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2DD8B2B1-0857-4004-A44B-8B798F7D3D91.jpeg" alt="" width="286" height="320" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Richard and Jo Engelhart</b>, moved by the spirit to assist their fellow prayer group couple in their urgent quest for normalcy, took time out of their day to move heavy furniture and pack more boxes. 50 years of memories takes a long time to gather. now stored away in a dark garage, the shiny trinkets are dull with depression.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2186" src="http://oursommlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2C925B3A-BBD2-457B-9606-FCDBABA45880.jpeg" alt="" width="240" height="320" /></p>
<p>we cannot fathom the devastation that is happening on islands far away, where food and water and diesel is scarce. we are lucky to have friends like these who love without boundaries and commit to helping their friends in need.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2180" src="http://oursommlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/8C6B053D-375C-4655-A3D9-3D146F801D3F.jpeg" alt="" width="240" height="320" /></p>

<p>the universe has sent us an angel in <b>Art Schmitt,</b> a diligent man who has committed the majority of his days, his time and energy, to help my parents realize the re-engagement of their home. <i>for the past month</i>, this man has traveled to the empty house to assist my father. <b>every damn day</b>. they hung sheetrock in all of the rooms themselves, working 10 hour days to complete the task within a week. paint will ensue soon. I cannot think of someone more dedicated to my father, my mother, my family- then <b>Art</b>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2181" src="http://oursommlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/7D78F8E2-4C5F-4245-B4AA-C7F7386761AF.jpeg" alt="" width="240" height="320" /></p>
<p>of course I would be remiss not to his other-half <b>Debbie Schroen</b>, as she has allowed for his desertion to weston lakes every day. we are grateful for such amazing family.</p>

<p>as life returns to “normal” for everyone else, and our busy schedules take over our lives, I remember my father, scraping floors, pulling carpet, piling debris on the side of the curb. he didn’t deserve this. my mother didn’t deserve this. but it happened all the same, leaving a gaping hole in my heart that only grows bigger over time. the worry and sadness almost overwhelms me.</p>

<p>Harvey has invaded my soul, and embedded into the soft flesh of my gut. he pains me every day, striking when least expected, using his broad strokes to wash away the sentiments of our lives.  we pass by overwhelming scenes, every day in the soft comfort of our vehicles, our guts tugging at our bleeding hearts and wrestling with our frazzled minds.  it can almost be too much to bear.</p>

<p>we must find strength.  we will find hope.</p>

			<div class="comment-content"><p>Another beautifully written blog, Bryana.  Thank you for your kind words. Every day I wish I could make the miles less, and  the Dr. Appts go away, and the commitments clear, because my heart cries  that I cannot be there, packing more boxes, or just giving  more hugs.  But my prayers and thoughts have never stopped!  It is there that the strength for all will be found !  Love and hugs !  ❤</p>
