    Most of the pictures posted on my site are to honor those of us who risked our lives on Katrina. I want to thank my brother and sister firefighters and medics for the kindness they showed me on my 5 1/2 months out. It was very lonely and stressful but they helped me get throught it. This is for you. I miss you and hold you in my thoughts and prayers
