KiraK_320 tells us more.
Hi everyone, OP here (well my nickname's gonna show so I'm not sure I needed to say it, but whatever)! Thanks for all the wishes and hugs. <3 First, I saw a few people ask about the cat; she's perfectly fine! And it wasn't actually my cat, it was my mom's boyfriend's... My cat and I live in Baton Rouge in an apartment with my dad, and I had just moved in there in April, so the majority of my things were here but... I had left my memorabilia box (the cards from my grandfather, a lot of childhood books and stuffed animals, the awards, etc.) at my mom and her boyfriend's house in Denham Springs (which, to any of you fellow Louisianians, you know the entire town was flooded), and I had forgotten some of my art supplies and old sketchbooks there alongside my Xbox and Wii unfortunately.Anyway, I actually have some good news: I had submitted this before I was able to go back to the house to salvage things and so when I did manage to go through the flooded stuff (after the water receded, of course), I was able to save a lot of it! Funnily enough, my Wii had been in a plastic tub that also floated, so that was safe. I got to wring out my stuffed animals, and wash them at a laundromat, and I also managed to carefully separate the flooded cards and lay them out in the sun to dry... very happy about that! Again, thanks guys :^) and to any of you that went through the flood as well, I hope you're doing ok and that your families were safe.

If you're referring to the birthday cards and the awards ; I'm 16, and he died when I was 11, and I received those awards (which I had gotten from my favorite teachers whom I don't get to see anymore because I had to move away) when I was 13. I like/have to keep the cards and awards with me so I can read them whenever I wish seeing as how I wouldn't be able to drive to the bank to look at them whenever I wanted (I don't have a driver's license; I attend an online private school and the laws here require you to be enrolled in a physical school to get one). That's not a TERRIBLE idea, I'd just rather keep them close to heart :^)

Global warming is real and it's consequences have already begun.
I know Louisiana got hit real hard in the floods that's terrible hope you can recover from all this

I'm so sorry OP, that is absolutely tragic. I wish you and your family the very best in recovering things and getting back on your feet.
Man, that sucks. Sorry for your loss... of your things. It's never easy losing things that are important to you. Thankfully you are safe. I wish you well as you get back on your feet.
