If you need to catch up with this story, go to Ike rolls in ~ my husband rolls out
Well, as most of you know I haven't seen much of my husband lately...he's working like 84 hours a week, no days off and spends another 10.5 in commute time. So, that leaves him 2.5 hours a day to eat dinner or breakfast, take a shower, wash his uniform and 8 hours of sleep. That's been his life for oh, maybe 2.57 weeks now! (not that I'm counting or anything!) So, let's just say there is little conversation (well, he's not home to have the conversation!)...I guess he got a break last night while working at the shelter. I logged on this morning and found this comment on the above post: (the first part is the mushy part, but I had to leave that in)
Wow, after reading the comments related to Hurricane Ike posted by my wife and then by all of her blogger friends, I had to reply. First and most importantly, to my absolutely amazing and loving wife. Thank you for being strong and tireless during this trying time for our family. You truly never cease to amaze me with your unending devotion and your spirit. I look forward to taking my "shelter" in your arms after a long night here in the Evacuee shelter.
To all of the bloggers,(not sure what to call ya'll), thanks for the words of appreciation. It really means alot to me to hear your words of encouragement. I can tell you that the dedicated men and women of the San Antonio Fire Department that I have the honor of serving with, do not consider ourselves heroes. It is the everyday Americans that volunteer their time and their own resources to help total strangers that are in need- those are the true heroes.

I can tell you that I briefly talked to him today and he was just flabbergasted at the comments that ALL OF YOU had made to him and the public servants like him....He couldn't believe it!
He was very touched...just so you know. This man needed a little "pick me up today"...thanks for helping me give it to him.
To keep you posted on that the last I heard they had about 1700 people or so still in the San Antonio shelter and were trying to see where they could put these people closer to their homes...no luck as of yet.
