Description

Susan Glazer wearing a respirator while cleaning the house, which is covered from floor to ceiling with mold.

Susan was one of many who kept a Katrina Journal of their experiences – which they circulated to family and friends.

The following are excerpts from her journal on the meaning of home:

...After nearly a week, we couldn't pack any more boxes. We had rented a trailer from U–Haul, which could only hold a finite amount of stuff. So, we had to make some tough decisions about what to leave behind...We salvaged still more clothes, a few pieces of artwork, lots of kitchen items, china and glassware and knick–knacks galore. Unfortunately, we probably forgot some things — I left behind two needlepoint purses that Nana had made, as well as her mother's sterling silver hand mirror (February 27, 2006).

…We miss so much about New Orleans – our friends most of all. We also miss the obvious charms of the Crescent City – the food, the music, the architecture and the general fun and funkiness that were part of our lives for so many years. The good news is that Michael (our son) intends to stay. His job is secure, he has made a home for himself from the shambles that was our house this time last year. And we will be frequent visitors. We know what it means to miss New Orleans – and our hearts are with all who are starting over – wherever they may be. (September 12, 2006)
