I lived in New Orleans for 8 years before Katrina. The first question everyone always asks is whether my stuff was ruined. I was able to get much of it back a few months later, but if it had been destroyed there is very little i would miss now compared to how much I miss my friends. I had an amazing group of very close, very smart, fun people in my life with hearts of gold. I have lost touch with many of them since then. Luckily I have connected with many amazing new people, but its never quite the same. Not to mention the incredible setting that New Orleans is - I've traveled a lot, but I've never found another place that feels like New Orleans. I miss it. You can always replace your stuff, but don't take your home and the people in your life for granted.
