IKE: A Documentary2009

Catherine Jackson:
Defining who you are without you know, the things that are missing or gone, materialistic items are not so much the issue, it's the comfort zone. And your kids. It's watching your children cry. Watching your children look through wreckage trying to find something that they own, I mean that's a hard thing. When it's not just flooded and it's missing and you can't find something for them to grasp on to, that's very difficult for me, is my children. I don't care about our stuff. But the plight that you see those kids going through over there or watching the elderly dig through debris piles trying to find something that they can grasp onto, something to give them some sort of light or hope. And the battle with insurance or mortgage companies and everything else you just want something, just something. Even if its just a small materialistic thing but something to guides back to where you were before Hurricane Ike.

Catherine Jackson:
I could be real negative about it, and continue to be negative, but... faith. If you don't have faith in something abstract to believe in, when everything concrete is missing, you have nothing. And what a miserable, lonely life you will lead if that is all you have, is something concrete and nothing else to hold on to. It's an awakening.
