It was the second night of the hurricane, it was very hot. No water, No electricity and no generator. My kids where both sick, they where crying. I tried sleeping on the ground outside. Mosquitos where literally eating me alive. My body felt as if it was on fire. I prayed for mercy. I prayed for a breeze. I asked the good Lord if it could get any worse or is it going to get better? It was then that the Lord sent my neighbor at 1:00 a.m. with a generator. I was so blessed and I blessed my neighbor over and over again. Wesley was my Hero! We all need wonderful neighbors such as he.
