First Walk after Sandy

Fallen Tree on Bleecker Park

On Thursday I was able to go down to the West Village and see L and her parents. They had no electricity so the apartment was really cold. I spent the day with L and we played with her blocks and her ball inside the apartment. When the sun came out and it was a little warmer we decided to go on a stroller ride. We walked around and a feeling of emptyness, sadness and gratitude filled me. We were lucky to be alive and well and I prayed for those in need.

Bleecker Street Playground was full of leaves and debris. L was able to play for a while. There were a few kids with their parents but the streets where empty. That night I help L and her parents move uptown to a hotel.
