SpiritMother's Home Devastated By Hurricane Ike

I have received a message from my dear SpiritMother :
http://allpoetry.com/SpiritMother




Dearest daughter,

Hurricane Ike did not treat us well. I am on my daughters computer at this time because a tornado and high winds from Ike has totaled our home. We have nothing but the clothes on our backs and a few things I grabbed as we escaped the carnage. Thank God our lives were spared as well as my whole family. I am currently staying with my daughter Lori in her small one bedroom apt but we are coping. Sort of like camping out. Keep us in your prayers as always and we will let Spirit work his will . Our light continues to shine no matter how many tears are being shed at this time. my eyes are swollen from all the tears, not just for us but for all that Hurricane Ike has done to everyone here

Let everyone know on AP that it will be awhile before I return full time. I can only use my daughters puter a limited time per day at this time, so much love to you and jean-marc..I love you all sooooo much..
Kisses and huggs
Helen (SpiritMother)




SpiritMother's birthday will be on september 28th ...

please feel free to express your love and care any way you wish ...

in gratitude,

maa

To Everyone!!
The Great Spirit of the Universe has gifted me in many ways but the most beautiful of them all are the ones who have sent me prayers of love and well wishes although they may have never met me except in spirit. May HIS light always shine upon each of you and lots of blessings rain down.
AHO!

    Good Gracious! So sad to hear. Though I am not on personal terms with SpiritMother, I have read many of her pieces here. She and her family will certainly remain in my thoughts and prayers. Hope you get many entries expressin their feelings and I will surely try to write something for this wonderful woman.

    Such a sad event to experience at any time in life. I pray she finds some comfort in the thoughts that are shared for her welfare and help to come.

    Oh Lord! That is horrible news. I'm terribly sorry for you, Dearest Mother. How may I help?

    You are in my prayers. You know more than most of us how the great Wakan Tanka works, so I need not say much. My love is always around you and yours.

    Aww that's so sad, At least they still have there lives and a Ray of hope. We'll Pray for her and her family. We experienced the wrath of Ike in Ohio over 800,0000 people were without power for a week. A few people were killed including the guy who was searching for his missing Osu College Intern Son

    I have been unable to be on AP for quite some time and I have also been trying to contact Helen by phone but as there are no lines yet I didn't know until today what had happened. I had hoped that they had been lucky and that only power was out. Please pass on my sorrow for her loss of all her personal possessions, I too have known that and how much it hurts. I give thanks though that she and all her family are safe and hope that they get settled in a new life very soon. God keep them all well, please pass on my concern and good wishes. Sheila, Wales UK

    Just a little message for SpiritMother...

    Dear SpiritMother,
    I know you don't know me but I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I can't imagine what it must feel like to lose your house. I'm so glad no one in your family was hurt, at least not physically but I bet it is hard to let go of some of the things that your house held... like memories, stories and photographs. You can't put a value on those. I love the way you say that staying with your daughter is almost like camping out. That made me smile at the positive, fun way you can look at anything. I think you are very brave. You know the phrase "Home is where the heart is" ? I really believe that. Your heart is so resilient, so full of love...and hope. I hope that really soon you have another place of your own, where you heart can be and you can call Home.
    My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by Hurricane Ike.

    Dear SpiritMother

    My prayers go out to you and your family and all who have suffered through cyclone IKE.
    I know it's hard to lose everything you own (I can only imagine)especially all the precious memories you have experienced over the years. The momentos, photographs would be very hard. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you yet but I know you are a very spiritual lady and you will come through your ordeal a stronger and better person.
    Your spirit my be wounded with tears you have shed
    since losing everything but will become strong one more.
    It's a blessing you are all safe and that's the main thing, house and possessions can be replaced, but lives can't.
    So please accept my love and blessings and know that your Angels and Guides are with you guiding you through your ordeal.
    Love and light shines eternal upon you.
    Joan Benecke from Australia.
    XOXO
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY for the 28th.

    Thank you, li'l sister, for the honor of the gold cup and for the opportunity to send hope and love to our sweet sister in Spirit. You do know, however, that eventually you'll get this gift back, to be used for more such heartfelt and humble endeavors as this contest.

    Love and Light,
