Well, we had both looked at each other and decided, might as well, because we have nothing else to go home to. This would be a new start for us, and probably a better one at that.

God's already blessed us because he spared our lives so it can't get no worse than it already was. And I already see better things happening already.

There's no city, no job, no home, there's really nothing to go back to.

There's nothing down South in New Orleans for us to go back to, so basically, this is a new slate for us. And were just so thankful that the gracious people -- God bless y'all -- that y'all took us in. That y'all have accepted us.

We have nothing to go back to. I mean you know our foundation is gone. Now it's time to build another foundation.

Right now this is our home for years to come. We don't have no plans on moving elsewhere but to another apartment for just me and her, either an apartment or a house. But right now it's just Minnesota is our home.
