It is amazing how much you learn about people by how they respond to a crisis. Some jump right into action, willing to do the work that needs to be done. Some sit in silence in disbelief that what is happening could really be happening, hoping that if they just ignore the problem it will go away. Some sit in anger, anger that they can't control what is happening and anger that they have to deal with it at all. I thought that I knew the people around us, thought that I had a pretty good grasp on their personalities, but I have been shocked by the extent some will go to ignoring the crisis. It really is heartbreaking.
