It's so hard to understand why bad things happen to great people- I know we're supposed to learn and grow from our experiences, but sometimes it's hard to see the light.
Last week, due to a number of reasons (all of which no one- not FEMA, the City of Des Moines, or an insurance company- is willing to take ownership of) Steve and Alyce (Andy's parents) started to lose their entire back yard from the garage/apartment to their back fence that leads to the river. It's so hard to explain it to the fullest extent, you almost have to see it to believe it- but the point is, their renter had to move out, they've lost their pond with the cute little fishies, the beautiful landscaping, the stairs down to their deck on the river- almost all gone now, slowing eroding along the bank of the river.
Please keep them in your prayers- this will be such a costly fix, of which they haven't gotten any aid and none of this is their fault. I would love to see an investigation into the old sewer system that the city was working on a couple months ago... that just so happens to run the line of their river bank...
Their retirement plans were laid out so carefully, and my only hope is that they can get the aid they need to fix this problem and heal their hearts...
