Ok so it has been a while since we posted, and while I could
go into all excuses, I think we just
need to move on and start new !!
We like anyone reading this have just celebrated Christmas,
this was my second Christmas here in New Jersey, it was still difficult, I’m
not sure if you really ever get use to be away from your family ns Friends at Christmas,
but and I know it sounds strange but you do take some comfort form the fact that
you are not the only one that position.
Since the last post we have had to endure super storm Sandy,
it was a really horrific time, and we where extremely lucky as we escaped with
no damaged we just had power outages, but to look at images of homes floating
out into the ocean and boats on the highways, you really are thankful. I think for me never experiencing a storm of
this magnitude (we have had flooding etc.. back in Ireland but nothing like
this), I think that most heartwarming, and hopeful stories are of the
donations, the volunteers and the togetherness that everyone one in New Jersey / New York
showed, I have never seen anything quite like, and to still witness it 2 months
after the storm, it quite remarkable. There where still people in the worst hit
areas with not heat and yet volunteers were out in force on Christmas morning
to make sure everyone had a hot meal and that all the Kids had a Santa visit.
We are heading to Boston for the New Year celebrations, and
am really looking forward to it…
