Update On My Sister's Family (The Fire)
June 29, 2012 at 1:55 am
My sister had a devastating fire in home nearly a year ago. A lot of you probably remember me talking about it and were very supportive as I tried to help them get back on their feet and worried about the kids. As several of you know, they lost a cat, but despite my sister, her mother-in-law and her children being in the house at the time of the fire, they and the other animals got out safe. The dog, thanks to the help of a stranger that no one ever found. He just helped the dog out of the window and left.
Anyway, long story short, after a year of construction, they are back in their home. I went to see it today and it was really a weight off of everyone's chests. The garage still needs building, but they are in a solid, stable home again and that is what matters. So, thank you to everyone who was my friend through all of that. The housewarming party is next month. I will try to remember to post pictures.

That is so wonderful! I love hearing that people can move on when disaster strikes.

Good news, Shel.
Apparently "god" does not put out fires?

Obviously I wasn't here at the time this occurred, but I'm glad to here they've got another home now anyway. Where were they living during the interim period?

Thanks everyone!
Tempus, their insurance company put them up on a trailer in their yard. Sure, it is shelter, but it is not a home for them.
Nah, Min, the fire department does, or at least tries to.

See? The Fire Department would be worth worshiping....although I imagine that they are up to their eyeballs in burnt-offerings.

Haha, I did kind of worship them that day. I gave them hugs and brought them water. They were at it for about six hours.
