As some of you know, I live in New York, specifically Staten Island, where we live a quarter of a mile away from the beach; add in Hurricane Sandy and that doesn't make for a very pretty picture. Our house is done: we have no power, our basement is flooded, as is our first floor. That may not seem bad, but our air conditioner, heat, and oil tank are all in the basement, which means that our house is virtually incapable of being lived in. Saying that I've been crying is definitely an understatement.

It breaks my heart to say this, but I have no idea when the next time I'll be able to write an article will be, so for the time being, I won't be writing anything, because, well, we have no house and are temporarily staying at my grandma's. I'll most definitely be back, it's just a matter of when.
The amount of love and support my parents and I have received over the past fifteen hours from everyone in the NASCAR community has been truly incredible and I thank you all for all of your prayers! My thoughts and prayers are with all of the people who have been affected by Hurricane Sandy.
My heart aches for you and everyone who has suffered from this storm. You will get thru this stronger and with new insights. Praying for you.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you all on this dark day. It is a tribute to the strength of New Yorkers all Americans that always find a way to pull together and overcome unimaginable grief. Our hearts go out to you, and I am thankful that you have family, food, and warmth. When there is Family & Love... everything else can be fixed. Hang tough Ashley… I believe in you!
ReplyDeleteThe greatest gift GOD gave all of us is life on this earth. Mother Nature does its worse but it's a blessing to have all of you alive, Ashley. My heart aches on what happened to your home. My hearts go out to you & your family. Hope is always there, stick together and everything will be okay. You can't replace what was in the past but your future is where you start.
