Praying for everyone in the path of Irene.. mandatory evacuation for people in NJ until 8 am tomorrow morning.

Norfolk, Va., issuing mandatory evacuation of residents in low-lying areas by 8 a.m. Saturday

All transportation in NYC will be closed on Saturday.

Please be safe y'all! You guys aren't used to this like us Floridians are so take all the precautions seriously.

My screen name tells you where I live. It's been raining here since Saturday morning. The wind is blowing hard but does not seem to be of hurricane force. Our local power company expects 500,000 customers to be without power due to the storm. Thank goodness so far not my house!!

Prayers and thoughts for everyone to be safe. With two major events in the course of one week, I think Mother Nature may be sending a message.

Rest in peace to those who died and solace and thoughts to those who were left behind to mourn.

Hi guys!! I wanted to share this video with y'all of a young mother and her baby boy who was born with and is suffering from EB - a serious skin disorder that just by a soft touch causes blisters on his body inside and out and pain at all times even during times that are supposed to be fun for babies, bathtime. : (

Courtney and Tripp live in a town close by to me, so that's why I wanted to share it with y'all. Her strength and love for her son is one like no other.

Imagine…

a child with painful wounds similar to burns covering most of his or her body.
having to wrap each tiny little infant finger with Vaseline gauze and then cover it with gauze to prevent the hand from scarring, webbing and contracting.
never being able to hold your child tight because if you did, their skin would blister or shear off.
a child who will never know what it’s like to run, skip or jump, or to play games with other children because even the slightest physical contact will injure his or her skin.
a child who screams out each time it is bathed because the water touching its open wounds creates incredible pain.
a diet of only liquids or soft foods because blistering and scarring occur in the esophagus.
an active baby with his knees soaked in blood from the normal act of crawling.
a teenager with stumps for hands, the affected fingers scarred/healed together.
