Kindness and the Hurricane House Guest

“The simple act of caring is heroic.”
~ Edward Albert

Preparing to evacuate for Hurricane Irma, I remembered evacuating for another hurricane probably close to 20 years ago.  I was going to my parents’ house and I invited a friend who lived in my same beachside building to join us.  All these years later, I still recall her being the perfect hurricane house guest.  In addition to bringing her own toiletries and belongings, my friend brought additional paper goods, her own water and a number of snacks to share with everyone.  Although she has since moved away, I texted my friend today to say that I still remembered her incredible thoughtfulness.  She remains my inspiration as I prepare to become a house guest this time.
