Remember Hardy Jackson? He's getting a new home.

Remember the Mississippi man who lost his wife to Katrina?



He was just on CNN. The R & B musical group "Maze featuring Frankie Beverly" has bought him a home in Atlanta, and he'll be moving into it, soon. Meanwhile, he's got his three kids and three grandkids back in school. They all miss wife-mom-grandma Toni :( but they're going to be okay. Good luck, Hardy!

2. That's wonderful!

His story was so touching. The woman reporting the story was breaking down as well.

6. That's right. The reporter was choking up.

I remember that, too. The whole scene was heart-wrenching. I'm so happy that he was helped. And Mr. Jackson seems like the kind of person who will pay it forward, as the saying goes.

4. He was one of the rare faces that expressed the magnitude of the grief

Felt in the Gulf Coast. There are thousands more just like him who are grieving loved ones-- I pray for them all.

God bless you Mr. Jackson. I'm glad you have some comfort in the form of a new home but I know it will never replace the loss of your dear wife.
