Two Years Ago Today

It's still hard to believe this was our home. . .

It's funny. Even now there are days when I go looking for something that we don't have anymore. I have to laugh when I realize that I'm wasting my time. And I still get a little down when I think about the sentimental things that I will never see again. BUT . . . I am immediately reminded of how blessed we are. When I think about "what could have been" and how quickly I could have lost a part of my family---those pictures and keepsakes and trinkets seem so silly. I am grateful to God for watching over my family. And in some strange way that I will probably never fully understand, I am grateful that He allowed us to endure and gave us the strength to overcome the trying times of our fire.
