I learned a lot about the other world and it was treating me well, but I had the worst jones to get home and never regretted my return. Get a plan. Study neighborhoods. Priority one is to survive New Orleans. Pick a very safe place to live. Don't wait decades. When you are ready, come on down. I left New Orleans once for four long painful years.

I actually read this again and again too. I really can't believe I wrote this and knew NONE of you. How blessed and stars aligned to think I was able to come to New Orleans and be welcomed with such open arms. This letter literally changed my life. Can't wait to see you on Monday!

Although I moved away at age 5, my extended family still lives there, and I will always consider it my home. The music, the food, the atmosphere, the sights, the sounds, the smells - it's an experience like none other. Your letter spoke straight to my heart so that it ached. It reminded me of me when I am once again driving home from the airport to Lutcher, passing the cyprus trees and thinking of my next shrimp po-boy, my next warm beignet. Thank you for this letter.
