Real Life Stories Of Wild-Fires.

Aug 19, 2013 19:29

So, here's a story about the Idaho forest fires, as told to me by my sister who heard it from my dad's nurse, who's daughter is the one that actually lived through it.

( Under the cut for upsetting topics. )

That's a scary but important story. Thank you for sharing it. Fires are much scarier than people realize. *leans on*

I still remember so clearly the one I went through in New Zealand.

That's a scary but important story.

I feel like people don't really think too much about the details of having this happen to a person, but when you hear it like this, from a terrified mother, it really hits you. More people should be telling their stories, this is the kind of thing we need to hear about as well.

I didn't know you were in a fire in NZ.. /hugs you close/

I've read some powerful articles about people who've gone through fires or firefighters which helps to ground it ( ... )

Oh my gosh, that's sound terrifying. To be woken up like that and actually see the smoke in the hall and everything. Your adrenline had to racheted up a few notches for sure. Now that you mention it, I remember you saying you had to live some place else for two weeks right before you moved out, but I don't think I ever got that it was because of a fire.

How's your week going? Are your parents off for their trip yet?

/hugs/

It was and it still comes back to me at odd times ( ... )

Today sucked as I woke up from a bad dream about having to deal with my old work and helping a replacement. But no one would listen to me or believe me when I told them things.

Ugh, no. You are out of there, it shouldn't still be haunting you! I hope it doesn't turn into the thing you dream about whenever you have a stress dream, like I still dream about junior high school and no one will believe me that I graduated high school years ago!

But other than that, it all sounds pretty good. Nice and easy going and some good decompressing time, which is sorely what you need. I think it's great that your parents are giving you a chance for that and not being overly pressure-y just yet.

(J came in the room while I was reading this comment and said, "Oh! How is she? Tell her I said 'hi'!")

Pippin was very excited today and came and sat in front of me with a toy mouse in his mouth and then chewed the tail off it for me to see and then did his 'hunter's' howl for five minutes. He thinks he is so tough but it was just adorable instead!

I know but its like a bad relationship, its going to take time to be completely rid of it. My stress dreams have always been school related, this just adds a new twist to them.

It is good and I think it helps a lot that I'm the youngest. All of my older siblings have had points where their plans didn't quite work out and they came home for a bit. My parents know this is only a pause and how awful this past year was.

*waves at J* Aww, Pippin, he's so silly.
