"I SAID, 'GRAB MY FEET,' AND SHE GRABBED MY FEET.
SHE SAID, 'I CAN'T HOLD ON, HARDY,' SO I SAID, 'WAIT, DON'T GIVE UP!'
SO I GAVE HER MY HAND, I SAID, 'HOLD ON, TONI.' I SAID, 'YOU CAN DO IT. DON'T LEAVE ME. PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME.'
I TRIED MY BEST TO PULL HER UP, BUT I WAS SO WEAK I COULDN'T DO IT. I TRIED.
SHE LOOKED RIGHT INTO MY EYES AND SAID, 'HARDY, LET GO. TAKE CARE OF THE KIDS AND THE GRANDKIDS.'
I SCREAMED, I HOLLERED. IF I COULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING, ANYTHING IN MY HEART OR MY POWER TO SAVE HER, I WOULD HAVE.
THAT'S MY BEST FRIEND. I HELD HER AS TIGHT AS I COULD, BUT SHE TOLD ME, 'YOU CAN'T HOLD ME.' ...I'M LOST...THAT'S ALL I HAD...THAT'S ALL I HAD."
HARDY JACKSON, HURRICANE SURVIVOR
