Laura-Lee Was Here: Alberta Floods (Canada)

June 21, 2013

Alberta Floods (Canada)

Calgary is a large city in the province where I live. But regardless of where it is, I always hate to hear about flooding and people sent out of their homes. It is always the worst on the elderly, the sick and mothers with young children. I cringe for all of them.

For those of us who are warm and dry in our homes this night and this weekend, let's say a prayer for those who are not and who are probably very unsure what tomorrow may bring.
~~~ love always, Laura-Lee
