Dear List,
Well I just don't know when or if our luck will every change. Received a
call tonight at 10:30 p.m. to say that the house that my son and his dad
just moved into this weekend was on fire and no one could find my son. My
ex-husband is in another province, (he is a truck driver), I was panicked.
Of course, I had already felt like I had abandoned my son by moving Stevie
and I into our own apartment, but only because my son Trevor did not want to
leave the community that he has known for the last 15 years. But now that I
am living in the city and away from our small village I was absolutely
hysterical to think that something horrible was happening and I was not
there. I did finally locate Trevor by his cell phone and he was at a
neighbors house. I immediately took off to go to Trevor. By the time I
arrived poor Trevor was pretty much in shock, burns to his right arm and
almost no hair left on the side of his head and the rest singed. He had
tried to get back into the house to save wee George, (Stevie's faithful
kitty). Trevor was supposed to bring him into Stevie and I tomorrow. The
house is now completely gone and poor George as well. I am just devastated
once again. Of course, I am thankful that my Trevor is ok, but they have
lost absolutely everything. They were supposed to go and have the content
insurance put on when my ex came back which would have been tomorrow also.
After our move, and the closing of our house last Friday, there was no
insurance on any of their things, and of course many of their "things" were
also my "things". Poor Trevor has the clothes on his back and that is it.
I know that this is not Berner related, but once again, I needed to pour my
bleeding heart out to someone. I realize that I should indeed be thankful,
but it is getting harder and harder all the time. It just feels like you get
beaten down and you are never sure if you can get back up again. And of
course, I am just devastated to think that little George has perished. Poor
Stevie will definitely miss him as will I. Please if you can or will, say a
little prayer for my family and wee George, once again. I am very heavy
hearted. I will be hugging my big Stevie boy very hard tonight, I am the one
needing him to comfort me at this point.
Love to you and yours.
Karen and Stevie
NB, Canada
