YOU TRULY DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE UNTIL YOU LOSE IT

 Our house Thursday March 1st 2012....the worst day or our lives
 Our front door
 Kitchen
 Family Room
from the from to the back, no more walls, floor or roof

Thursday morning 12:30am, we were woken by a rattling noise at our bedroom door and the smell of smoke, we had no time to waste. We had to get out, my husband grabbed the kids, i grabbed the baby, kicked out the window and we all escaped through the bedroom window, ran to a neighbours house in nothing but pj's banging on her door begging for help. She called the fire department, they arrive 15 minutes later, but that point it was to bad to fight, they tried and after more than 3.5 hours this is what is left, we have lost everything.
Now we live in a hotel until we can find a house and begin to rebuild our lives.
Fire is the scariest thing I have ever been through, it will be hard for a long time, but the main thing is we have each other.
