I used to live in fear that our house would burn down. It would actually keep me from my sleep. Eventually, I just moved past it and said to myself "If it's going to happen, it's going to happen, and there's nothing i can do except make sure this place is as safe as we can make it."
When my dad was a kid, they had a really bad house fire and they lost everything. He is very cautious now and is like uber-safe about fire safety.
Sending you hugs. And prayers for the kid who's house burned down. That must be the most awful feeling. |
