so today, my neighbors house caught on fire. and she couldn't get out. she was in a wheelchair. she died at the hospital after being in critical condition for a few hours. its sure does bring you right back down to earth when you hear of something like tbis happening...it could have been my house. why hers? ya know? and granted, no one would have been home, but my animals would all be here. and its right before christmas. her poor husband. and i feel bad for the firefighters too, because she called 911...they just couldn't get there fast enough to help her. i even thought, ya know, what if i had been home? or someone had been home? its just a big slap in the face. i'm definetly guilty of taking things for granted. my life isn't as bad as that. thats for sure.
