Helping Others
These are my two sons, Jakob and Dylan. Jakob is 5 and Dylan is 3 months. Me and Jakob were watching the Hurricane Katrina "Shelter From The Storm" fundraiser tonight and watching the images and listening to the performances I began to cry. My son didn't understand so I told him what Katrina did and what happened to all of those people and he began to get upset as well. After the concert was over he told me that he would like to give some of his toys to the children who were crying on TV. I was overwhelmed with emotion after hearing that. This is a 5 year old telling me this. I knew then that me and my wife were not only doing our jobs as parents, but we needed to do our jobs as humans. I donated $60 to the Red Cross and I urge all of you to do what you can. I honestly don't know what I would do without my family and I think we all take things for granted sometimes. We've seen destruction and despair, now lets perform a miracle.

What a wonderful picture. You must be very proud!!
Thanks Larry! They are everything to me!
Hey Michael! I watched the concert too! It was so cool seeing all those celebs come together. Every time I hear people talk about the damage that's occurred there, I get teary eyed. It really strikes a place in my heart, though I've never been down there and know no one there.
