his morning at about 3:30am my BF and I awoke to hear sirens, it was the house across the road from our house, it was engulfed with flames. There was fire trucks, police, ambulance and other neighbors. It was probably the worse thing I have ever witnessed. I cried and cried. Nobody new if the guy who lived there was in there or not. We found out he was, and his dog. He didn't escape. I knew him only by name and to say g'day to. It was so sad. The police have been there all day, they only just left, it is now about 1:30pm, 10hrs since it started. I am still in shock. His house is/was only about 50 meters away from my house. I saw the police carry his body away in a bag.I still can't believe he died like that. I still can't believe it happened at all.

 | Posted Aug 1st, 2008 at 10:53PM Oh, Sassy, what a terrible thing to have happen. I am so sorry for your neighbor,and for you that you had to witness it.I'm sending you love and light and hoping that your spiritual beliefs help you to deal with it. +3 nods |
| Posted Aug 1st, 2008 at 10:56PM Thank you! I think I need a big hug to! |

| Posted Aug 1st, 2008 at 11:12PM Well it is now just a pile of rubble, tin and ashes! |
| Posted Aug 1st, 2008 at 11:21PM (((((((((HUG))))))))))Probably better that they get the debris removed because it would just be a constant reminder of the awful event that occurred in the burned out shell of a house. |
| Posted Aug 1st, 2008 at 11:24PM I agree! Thank you for your support Datura! |
| Posted Aug 1st, 2008 at 11:32PM It's 12:30 am here Sassy, much later than I'm usually on EP...but I'm glad I was here tonight so I could offer you a listening ear and some love and support. Maybe I stayed on so late tonight because I was supposed to be here. I'd like to think that. I'll be thinking of you and hoping you find some peace about this awful event. ((((((hug)))))). |
| Posted Aug 1st, 2008 at 11:42PM Thank you for being up late for me. I am fine, you better go get some sleep! +2 nods |
 Feeling inventive | Posted Aug 2nd, 2008 at 12:12AM (((((((Hugs))))))) Sass, why not get out of the house for a little while, say down to the point where you found the young penguins. Take your mind off it for a while. |
