Fire

So yes you heard right our neighbors house burned down this week. Thursday morning we heard several sirens which isn't uncommon because the fire department is less than a mile away it wasn't until they started parking in front of our house that I realized something was really wrong. The elderly gentleman that lived there was saved by a passer by and a neighbor that found him collapsed in his kitchen and carried him to safetly. I stood in the driveway holding Hallie crying at the thought that this sweet old man had built this house and lived there his whole life and now it was burning down right before our eyes, we were helpless. The house is a total loss but luckily the owner will be ok and is just in the hospital for observation. Just another suttle reminder that life should never be about things but the people and memories we have and make in our lives.
