When our daughter and son-in-law brought their precious twin boys home from the hospital, I watched with intensity as they got the babies ready to go to sleep in their bassinets. They would lay down a blanket on the changing table, set the baby at an angle in the middle, and then bring each side in very tightly.

The power of Helene has wiped out beautiful little towns, major bridges, Interstate roadways and homes. We’ve all seen images of the loss of electricity and water and the dramatic and sudden changes that have touched so many. It’s heartbreaking.
