It puts all my fretting into perspective. I'm sorry for your neighbour but also struck by how communities pull together when things like this happen, espeically in small towns.

They were all home at the time and didn't notice anything until one of them went outside to smoke a cigarette! It is a dreadful thing to lose all your treasured posessions, but better to be alive with the memories of your past.

We were saying about how sad it was, and terrible it would be to lose things like photographs. <BR/><BR/>I really hope she makes a full recovery and is able to move on from the shock that this must have caused. It sounds as though your community is pretty close knit, so I'm sure you'll come together to make life just that little bit easier for her. <BR/><BR/>Wishing you a very merry Christmas and sending my thoughts to your friend xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-24900274687553395912008-12-22T10:17:00.000+00:002008-12-22T10:17:00.000+00:00Hi, I am so sorry to hear about your friend and he...Hi, I am so sorry to hear about your friend and her home.
