Tragedy has struck the island of Puerto Rico, and the damage only seems to be building. But the heartache doesn’t stop at the island, several Marist students with family still on the island are worried and awaiting responses from their loved ones. From a personal standpoint, both of my parents grew up on the island, and the majority of their family is still there. The most painful part is the waiting. Waiting to see if they are okay, what the damages are if they have enough to provide for themselves until provisions can be sent over, whether they’ll stay in their homes or go visit family they may have anywhere else.
