Hello kkls45,
Please, you have absolutely nothing to apologize for! I can not even begin to imagine the hardship and devastation caused to you and all those afflicted by Hurricane Sandy. “Home” is profound…for a homebody like me ( no pun intended), it is everything! If sharing here can alleviate even an iota of the frustration, angst, and suffering, I hope you share as much as you feel comfortable. I will be here to listen and only wish I could do more! My thoughts and prayers will be with you, that you and all those you love are restored home and made whole in this long recovery.
