I listened to the radio and heard how several people were stranded in cars, buses, schools and office buildings. I then worried “how will my Dad get home from work? It was a Friday and later than usual for Dad to come walking thorough the door. I do not remember how he made it home, but I remember thanking God when he arrived home.
