So the clean up began yesterday and will continue well into next week. After the second day my body is screaming in pain. Having fallen off my bicycle in a triathlon last month, the sore shoulder and hairline fracture in my wrist (which I have delayed in putting a cast on) are really hurting tonight. Lifting furniture was probably not the best move I ever made, but it was not like I was going to leave my brother in the lurch. The number of volunteers that are out and about is fantastic and it is so heartwarming seeing so many people willing to help strangers.
I found the below sign in a corner of my brother's house. It was face down and I was about to throw it out until I read it. We then decided to post it out the front of the house. It brought many smiles to the faces of those in the surrounding neighbourhood on a day when the devastation of what people have lost was so profound!
