A few guys have asked to help....to you folks who have offered help and those who expressed sincere concern I thank you!
Take no offence when I say this, but this thread was not placed here as a way to help fund her rebuilding. We appreciate these offers but really family and close social friends have stepped up...these kids will be doing fine!
If this story has made you feel like helping out...remember your own local Red Cross branch, or woman's shelter...soup kitchen, food bank. There are lots of folks living around us who are just one minor emergency away from being totally lost, helpless and even homeless. My daughter is lucky to have loved ones that can step up and help her out.
I think our family has learned a lot and have grown closer thru this event....hold your kids a little bit longer tonight when you send them to bed, or they head off to their own homes...let them know they are loved, and safe in your presence.
Thanks again guys!!!
