a funeral and a house fire
Permalink  

I went to a funeral on Saturday.  So much has been stuck in my head since.


Was this person an A?  I don't know.  I do know that he died alone, and that he was dead for almost 3 days before anyone found him.  I do know that he drank what I consider too much but I think my opinion may be skewed when it comes to what is too much alcohol.


Please keep Roger's family in your prayers.


I got a phone call from my Mom today.  My sister's house burned.  I am heartsick for her and her family.  No one was hurt.  Her husband had managed to get all of the pets out but one of the cats ran back in and was lost.  I imagine she is like me and that loss will be felt greatly.  I have not been able to speak to her directly as of yet.  I think power to what is left of the house is gone.  We are hoping to hear soon.


Please keep my sister and her family in your prayers (Carolyn, Bob, John, Haley, Lindsay, Kate, Alexandra and Jess).  Also her menagerie, too numerous to mention, at least they have the barn and are out of the weather. (the animals I mean)


I need to curl up in some warm blankets now,


Thanks for listening all

I'm so sorry to hear of your sister's house fire. There was a fire at my Mom's house just a few weeks ago. I'll keep them and Roger's family in my prayers.

Thank you all, I at this point have still not heard anymore from my sister, my Mom is trying to contact her, she is far North from us.  I know they have a place to stay and everyone is safe.  That is the important stuff.  Does not stop the worry tho.


Thanks for all your prayers

 Sounds like an extremely sensitive and emotional time for you and yours. Is there anyone neutral that you can talk to, if only to blow off some steam?


 Please take extra care of yourself, and know that you have all our love and support. Go the extra mile for yourself, whatever that means for you.
