So there we were, sitting in our sandbox having a pity party for ourselves because Buggy and Daddy are so sick, when The Big Man Upstairs put life into perspective for us.
We started to smell smoke, and quickly discovered that our neighbors house was, well, on FIRE! After we called the fire department, and saw the damage it had done, we began to realize that our day wasn't quite as bad as thiers is going to be. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
It made me become very reflective and slightly cheesy for a moment, and think about what I would do if that was our house I was watching go up in flames. I realized that as long as I had my little, sickly Buggy and her Daddy, we would still be the richest family in the world!
But, our prayers are still with our neighbors. :(
She is getting so big and so pretty!! Can't wait to get down there. I need to carve out some time soon! Are you planning a 1st birthday party?
ReplyDeleteoh my word! That looked like a pretty bad fire, if it took out the roof. Poor things.
ReplyDeleteThings like that do always put things in perspective.
Love this sweet post. So true. Hate it so much for the neighbors. So sad.
ReplyDeleteLOVE, LOVE, LOVE that last picture of Buggy. SOOOOOO CUTE!
