Stuck in Florida

My grandfather passed away early this morning. I am going to be here until Saturday night because of the funeral service. I know that this is for the best because my whole family was waiting for something to happen. This experience really does make me feel like I can relate better to the people I work with at Red Cross. Many of them have lost a family member and now I see how much stress follows that. There are so many arrangements that have to be made and that must be extremely difficult when you don't even have a home. I can see how my whole family is struggling to get through everything and I can't imagine having to deal with this on top of losing your home.
