This is a terrible time for you and your family. I guess if we didn't have bad times, we wouldn't appreciate the good. Still, sometimes it seems that our burdens are very heavy. You all will be in my prayers.
My son was the one who started the fire. He found the one and only lighter in the house! I used it to light candles and kept it in the drawer in the kitchen. He had been watching cartoons in my room (Scooby Doo) and I was in the living room watching the news. He was the one who came out and told me the house was on fire.
As for the insurance company, we are still waiting. At this point, we just want to get out from under the mortgage. We have decided to try and make this a fresh start. We have a nice apartment and Adrian will actually be in a better school district then before. We found out that one of his classmates lives above us, so he has someone in the building to play with and the lady across the hall is a certified babysitter/college student. She is very nice and Adrian loves her! One day we will buy another house, but for now I think we will stay here.
