　　Our son Owen was born just as Hurricane Katrina approached the Gulf Coast.

　　Two days later, as Katrina neared landfall, Owen began suffering seizures; he'd had a stroke.

　　I didn't follow the catastrophe on the Gulf Coast as closely as I might have,

　　but those weeks taught me some things about catastrophe and about the kindness of strangers.

　　All catastrophes are personal.

　　Some in the Gulf Coast sought survival; some sought to help others.

　　Some prayed; some prayed upon others.

　　At the hospital, we watched our son Owen sleep.

　　Despite the tubes dripping and the monitors beeping, he still slept his baby sleep.

　　My wife asked for the pastor; I asked for the doctor.

　　She prayed for him. I held the CAT scan up to the light and searched for answers.

　　No one can know what you will feel or fear in a time of need,

　　but I learned that in this, the most difficult time of my life,

　　the people our family depended upon most were people we had never met,

　　people who we would likely never see again—strangers.

　　We depended upon strangers, strangers who knew their duty was to help others.

　　We depended upon the nurses who cared so well for our son,

　　who cooed to him and caressed him, who watched me hold him through the night

　　and never seemed to notice how ugly a man is when he cries.

　　We depended upon the hostel that gave us a place to stay near the hospital,

　　upon the members of my union who believe caring for our child's health should not ruin us,

　　upon the doctors and clerks and ambulance drivers.

　　We depended upon a commitment made to helping others.

　　This commitment is a web that holds us together in times of need.
