death – obituary– Cause of Death News : to a hurricane. I long for the days when a regular storm was just that – a regular storm. Not this supercharged, steroid-infused monster that wreaks havoc on everything in its path.
I remember the hurricanes my parents used to talk about, the ones that were powerful but not catastrophic. The ones that brought communities together to rebuild and support each other, instead of causing widespread destruction and devastation.
But now, it seems like everything has to be unprecedented. Every storm has to be the biggest, the strongest, the most destructive. Every event has to break records and make headlines. It’s exhausting to constantly be living in a state of emergency, to always be on edge waiting for the next disaster to strike.
I long for the simplicity of the past, when things were more predictable and manageable. When a storm was just a storm, not a life-altering event. When we could rely on the strength and resilience of our communities to help us through tough times.
But now, it feels like we are constantly fighting against forces beyond our control. We are at the mercy of Mother Nature, who seems to be getting angrier and more unpredictable with each passing year.
I pray to Almighty God for a return to simpler times, for a respite from the chaos and destruction that seems to be the new normal. I pray for the strength and resilience to weather whatever storms come our way, and the wisdom to learn from these unprecedented times.
In the midst of all this uncertainty and turmoil, I hold on to the memories of a simpler time, when hurricanes were just hurricanes, and not the catastrophic events they have become. I hold on to the hope that we can weather this storm and emerge stronger on the other side. And I hold on to the belief that, with faith and perseverance, we can overcome whatever challenges come our way.
