“We are still healing” isn’t a line you say for effect. It’s a status update from a community that lived through catastrophic Texas Hill Country flooding and is still carrying the weight of it. I spent my birthday weekend back in Kerrville, Texas, along the banks of the Guadalupe River, because I needed to see the river one year later and talk to the people who never got to “move on” when the cameras left.

We reflect on what it means to witness flood damage in person, from the river corridor stretching toward Canyon Lake to the places where devastation is still visible. The hardest stop is near Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas, where the grief doesn’t resolve into a neat lesson. There’s no closure to be found, only a clearer understanding of how deep loss can run after a natural disaster and how long disaster recovery really takes.

Over lunch at the Lake House Family Restaurant, owner Mark Armstrong shares a perspective that stopped me cold: how you can feel like “the luckiest guy on the block” on the worst day of your life. That tension between gratitude and heartbreak is a thread so many survivors recognize. We also talk about what gives towns real resilience when the water recedes: neighbors helping neighbors across Kerrville, Hunt, and Bandera, and the kind of togetherness you can’t fake.

If this conversation moves you, subscribe, share it with someone who cares about community resilience, and leave a review so more people can find these stories. What does healing look like to you after a disaster?
