Some Really Needed Good News

This afternoon I heard back from my friend Rebecca (not Becca, these are two different friends) who lives in Houston. As everyone knows by now, last weekend a horrible hurricane hit Houston. I have been very worried for my friend Rebecca who relocated there a few years ago. I tried calling her last weekend and I got a busy signal at both of her numbers. Now, I knew that this did not automatically mean bad news as all the power and most communication was down and that most likely she was ok but I was still worried for her. I followed up my calls with an email to her and got a response from her today and she is just fine! She and her cat and a friend evacuated to Huntsville, Texas before the storm hit. Even better news for her, her apartment was not at all damaged by the hurricane which was very lucky considering that her apartment's property sustained heavy damage.

This good news was especially needed as dear, sweet Rebecca's husband passed away last month. I'm sure that she needs all of the good news and blessings she can right now. This news is also wonderful for me to hear now as I am preparing to put my ailing cat to sleep tonight but I can't write about that now, it is too painful and sad an anticipation.
