Its a sick feeling isn't it? But, addresses you can get one way or another. Papers and the patterns can be reprinted. You won't know what is gone until you are looking for it. Then figure out if you still need it and how to replace it if you do. Bet you ask to see the entire box next time before it goes up in flames. Funny how our thoughts at the moment are so much more important than the really hard stuff in life. Give him a hug for sparing your fabric. All will be well with this in no time.
