A Sad Loss

On my way home yesterday, I was stalled in traffic. Police were directing people down a dead end street! Huh?!? Nevertheless, I was pretty upset. I'm sure my fellow drivers were as well.


I knew something had happened, but did not know exactly what. You could see emergency vehicles so I assumed it was a bad wreck. Not so. An eight unit apartment building was ravaged by fire. Four families lost their homes and everything in them. Fortunately, no one was injured.





Shame filled me when I thought about my measly little problem about getting home when these people were losing theirs. If anyone locally knows how we can donate to these folks, please let me know. One family had a newborn and I have a great deal of items that I'm sure they could use.
