Things You Don't Want To Hear At 6am.

This morning while I was getting ready for work my phone rang, it was my mother. I stopped...calls from my mother at 6am are rarely good. I answered. The first thing she said was "Don't worry everyone is ok." Instantly, worst case scenario's flooded into my brain. "Your sister was in a car accident", "there was a tornado", I was not prepared for "Your grandfather's house burned down. "

Monday night my grandpa was in his room watching TV(he wears headphones so he can hear it which means he can't hear anything else), my aunt and cousin were in the back of the house, when they heard a loud bang. Thinking my grandpa has fallen, my aunt started to walk down the hall towards the front of the house to my grandpa's room. That's when she saw that the front of the house was on fire.

My cousin and her got my grandpa out ok but the house is gone. Everything they owned...gone. All family heirlooms, pictures and my grandmothers things...gone. I know that those are just material things but as my Dad put it...it's like have your history erased.

The fire was caused by a gas leak...the house basically exploded. It is a miracle no one was hurt and that my aunt and cousin where home. Because had they not been, my grandpa most likely would have not known about the fire until it was too late.

Please keep them in your prayers.
