WE ARE ALIVE...it is just so hard to start over with all we had....we can NEVER replace it...I lost my piano, keyboard...I HAVE TO STOP IT...It hurts to know all our belongings was under 19 ft water surge..house and all...was a terrible mess here in Oak Island, Texas..oh well...so much for that....Thank God we are alive and well for now.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Are you beginning to get re-situated? I know it takes a long time. Our house burned about 8-9 years ago. We were able to rescue a few things, but not a whole lot.
The things we miss the most are the sentimental treasures that there is no replacement for...Daddy's sister's bracelet (she died in 1923), the quilt my MIL made as a wedding gift, the kids school pictures, the dolls my mom and her sister played with as children...Yeah, it's just stuff, but it was very special stuff!
