When I posted my last blog, I was leading a very busy and hectic but very good life. On April 4/09 my life turned up side down. The building I lived in burnt down. We all got out in time except for one person who sadly died. Also 4 cats, of which one of mine also died.
To tell you about the goodness of our fellow man, I had to start with this horrible story. My husband and I are- thank goodness- alright. We are a bit emotional still, but in time we will be able to go on.
It has touched my heart how all the people in our community and in the rest of the city have reacted. There was a lot of concern for our well-being- physical and mental. The city officials were also very concerned and helpful and I know that other tenants are also very grateful to all who have helped and are still helping.
When I ran out of the building I has no shoes on. I borrowed a pair that were too big and when I went to the Eaton Center to buy a new pair, someone gave me a coupon. Another person paid for our breakfast one morning. Everyone asks how we are and wants to help. We had to put posters up for the cats that got lost and everyone was helpful. we did get calls and found my youngest one. I know that in the scheme of things they are small things. But, they meant a lot to me and my husband.
One of my main concerns, after I knew what was going on was that my computer- where I have my manuscripts- won't work. I have been told that they can recover the information so keep your fingers crossed. I will in due time introduce you to my next character, Freddy.
I want to thank everyone for all their help and concern. I will keep in touch and work on the last little bits of my manuscript with Freddy. He is also very eager to meet all of you!
