OKLAHOMA

My thoughts and prayers are going out to everyone affected by the devastating tornado that hit Oklahoma.

Once again, I'm amazed by the human spirit and the helping hands and courage. My heart swelled when I heard about the teachers who used their own bodies to cover up their students as the tornado relentlessly ripped through an elementary school, the husband that also used his body to shield his wife in a home, and the elderly lady that tried to hold on to her dog as best she could while taking shelter in her bathroom, but lost in the storm. The woman found her sweet schnauzer under the rubble of her once-standing home while she was being interviewed, and to say I was touched is an understatement.

I'm thinking about you all and realizing again how precious life really is.

Here's to calm skies and joy in the future.
