My very stubborn (ha!) mother drove all the way to
Georgetown, TX (north of Austin) yesterday, and found a room for the
night. Unfortunately, the motel had only 1 room for 1 night, so she
was going to have to 'hit the road' again. But a woman who works there at
the motel offered her a room in her house, for indefinite
stay. She will most likely have to be there for several days.
The generosity and selflessness of people in this time of crisis is truly
inspiring. I spoke with this wonderful angel (her name is
Sheri) as well as my mother just now, and she laughed and said, yes, your
mother is really an independent one. She couldn't believe she's 82 and had
set off by herself like that. (doesn't surprise me at all...)
I cannot thank enough all of you who offered
your kind words and thoughts and prayers to me over the past day (a long
day). Several people even offered to take my mother into their
homes. Thank you and bless you. I certainly hope that everyone who
is out there seeking refuge from the storm will find the help they
need.
