We Thought it Would Always Stay This Way

 I have always loved being on the Gulf Coast, whether we were living in Texas or in Florida.  I enjoy watching the pelicans, sand pipers, sea gulls, and any and all sea fairing birds. Those creatures in the waves, in the tide, in the sand, and along the shoreline contribute to the beauty of these coastal waters. We thought it would always stay this way.  Hearts are breaking.
