I looked up the soot covered steps and could see the sky. Fire had burned a sunroof into their home. My friends guessed that’s where the lightning hit. Their lives changed in a flash. And a boom. Their house was a charred ruin.
Thankfully they made it outside. Unfortunately, not many of their possessions made it with them. But their family was safe. And so was the family dog. That’s all that matters in the scheme of things.
They had friends and family helping them — an army built on love. Sure, they lost their possessions, but what really mattered in their lives was totally fireproof. (Wasn’t that a movie?). They had people who care. And no flames on the Earth can touch that.
Oh, no! I hate to hear of anyone loosing their home. I’m glad they had family and friends to come to the rescue.
I’m learning in my old age that friends and family are all that really matter.
MR you are so right!!! Wow, so sorry for your friends/neighbors. So glad all survived, including the pet!!!
Friends and family are everything.
I’m so sorry for your friends loss of their home. But I’m glad they have their family and you.
I’m sorry to hear this. Is there anything tangible we can do? Any immediate needs we might could meet?
