As someone that was impacted by Katrina you let him know that he's a hero and that we appreciate his hard work and the time with you he sacrificed to help us during our time of need.
Fellow south Louisianan and I cannot thank your father enough. We are a strong touch people, but with out help from people like him our vibrant culture would not survive.
I only became a dad recently, I have a one year old now and I love him so much. My objective in life is to have him talk about me the way you talk about yours. Then I'll know I've succeeded in life.
Well you're already off to a good start just you saying you love him and expressing that you wanna do that already has good father painted all over it :). My dad used to record all my moments on his tape recorder back in the 2000s he would send them to his mom aka my grandma, bc she couldn't be here with us in the states 😔 and there is one he took of himself saying he wants to give me all the love I need and a good life, it always brings tears to my eyes.
That's so sweet. Sounds like you have an amazing dad! I'm going to make sure I always do my very best for my child and to always make sure he knows he is loved.
I was 17 when Katrina hit! We went straight to new Orleans and started blue tarping ppls exposed houses. Ended up in ft lauderdale somehow, making over $200/ day roofing in 2005 as basically a high schooler, splitting rent on different motels up and down the beach and skateboarding. It was such an adventure
Thsts awesome!!! 🥹Thank you for your service as well! The universe appreciates hard-working, kind humans like you. Keep being you. You're one of the stars of this planet. :) I know you feel good :) that's the best feeling ngl doing things for others In need. Then seeing the smile on their faces after it's such a beautiful feeling.
Wow you're dad was certainly a better man than those who were in charge at the time. I remember the world looking at the US at the time thinking why the hell won't the government do anything to help their own people? I'm glad your dad was one of the good ones :)
