Yesterday my brother and sister-in-law’s house burned to the ground and they literally lost everything. He saved the dog by tying her collar to his belt and crawling out of the house on all 4’s. There is literally nothing left and they have their dog and the clothes on their backs. They don’t even have one set of car keys.
I can’t imagine what it must be like to have to start over. Yet they have their lives, and their dog, and my other brother and I did not lose a sibling. We are very blessed. It could have been so much worse. Much was lost that cannot be replaced. He was the family historian. Raymie and Kathy live in Bloomington, Indiana.
The fire was started by a faulty gas grill. No details yet.
