My parents have been able to find quite a few little things here & there such as coffee mugs, bowls, plates, an vases that are surprisingly still in one piece!  They have just been piling everything into the back of their pickup truck.
 
 
It's getting cold outside. 
You can see my Mom has gloves and 3 or 4 sweatshirts on.  They are all in need of warm coats.
 
The Asbury Park Press was on Brook Ave yesterday and talked to my parents and other residents. They took this picture of them sitting on their steps.
 
 
 
Anyone who has ever been to my parents house has to remember our soldier.  He was a suite of armor that stood over 6 feet tall.  We thought of him as a part of the family.  We often dressed him up for Halloween, decorated him for Christmas and he hid Easter eggs like a pro.
He was in our dining room for every birthday, for my engagement party, and even when my husband & I told our family that we were expecting their first grandchild & niece.
 
This is the only picture I can find of him.  Taken in 2002 with the teenager versions of  Kady, Patrick, and their friend. 
I am thankful that I have it.
 
 
 
He was one of the items that we wanted to find the most.   We were hoping he would be under some brush or that the beastly ocean had left him gently in someone else's yard. 
 
Unfortunately they found our friend on the beach.
 
He's in pieces.  And very rusty already.

 
The vicious ocean waters and the salt water in it did not care that he was so loved.

 
We are heartbroken over this.  It might seem a little ridiculous given the severity of the situation but he was a part of our family.  He was one of those things that we will never get back. 
It's devastating.
 
 
 
 
We are extremely grateful for any donation big or small. 
Gift cards, checks, clothes, toiletries, and any other donation will be very much appreciated.
