SO SAD

I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE THIS DAY. I WRITE AN ENTRY ABOUT MY SISTER BECOMING A GRANDMOTHER AGAIN, AND THEN SHE CALLS ME AND TELLS ME HER HOUSE IS ON FIRE AND SHE'S LOST EVERYTHING INCLUDING HER 2 PRECIOUS DOGS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO LUCY A FEW TIMES TODAY. HER HEART IS BROKEN OVER THE LOSS OF HER ANIMALS. SHE LOVED HER PRECIOUS DOGS SO VERY MUCH. THEY WERE LIKE HER CHILDREN. I AM 200 MILES AWAY FROM HER. HOW I WISH I WAS THERE RIGHT NOW TO HUG HER AND LET HER KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE HER. MY SISTER HAS DEALT WITH SO MUCH HEART ACHE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. SHE LOST HER 18YR OLD DAUGHTER 12 DAYS AFTER SHE DELIVERED LUCY A GRANDSON. THE FOLLOWING YEAR SHE LOST A 5 MONTH OLD GRANDSON TO SIDS, THEN OUR FATHER WAS FOUND FLOATING IN A CREEK. TO THIS DAY WE BELIEVE HE WAS MURDERED. HE WAS SCARED TO DEATH OF WATER AND WOULDN'T GO NEAR IT. HE DID NOT KNOW HOW TO SWIM. AND NOW LUCY HAS TO DEAL WITH THE PAIN OF LOSING HER HOME AND ALL HER BELONGINGS AND HER 2 PRECIOUS DOGS. SHE HAD 2 CHIHUAHUA'S. ONE WAS 4YRS OLD AND THE OTHER WAS 7 WEEKS OLD. THE OLDEST ONE CHEWY SHE HAS HAD FOR 4 YEARS. SHE WAS HER BABY. THE PUPPY WAS LOVED SO MUCH, HE FOLLOWED LUCY EVERY WHERE IN THE HOUSE. SAT ON HER LAP, SLEPT WITH HER. I HAVE CRIED SO MUCH TODAY MY EYES ARE RED AND SWOLLEN.

LUCY HAS LOST EVERYTHING. AND THE SAD PART IS SHE DIDN'T HAVE RENTER'S INSURANCE. SHE COULDN'T AFFORD IT. SHE WAS STRUGGLING WITH THE BILLS SHE HAD NOW. THE HUSBAND SHE HAS BUT IS SEPARATED FROM DOES NOT WORK AND THERE FORE CANNOT SUPPORT THEIR 2 YOUNGEST CHILDREN AGES 12 AND 14, SO LUCY ALSO SUPPORTS THEM ALONE ALONG WITH HER OTHER BILLS. SHE HAS NOTHING LEFT, EVERYTHING IS GONE. THE HOUSE IS BURNED TO A CRISP AND FALLING OVER. SHE HAS NOTHING LEFT BUT THE CLOTHES ON HER BACK. ALL HER MEDICATIONS WERE IN THE HOUSE. SHE IS ON BLOOD PRESSURE, CHOLESTEROL, HEART AND NERVE MEDICATIONS. I AM JUST SO THANKFUL THE 2 YOUNGER KIDS AND MY SISTER WERE NOT HOME AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE. LUCY WAS AT WORK WHEN SHE RECEIVED A CALL THAT HER HOUSE WAS ON FIRE. I KNOW MY SISTER, SHE TURNES EVERYTHING OFF WHEN SHE GOES SOMEWHERE. THE HOUSE IS SO BURNED IT'S GOING TO BE HARD TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE.

MY DEAR FRIEND ANGIE HAS POSTED A REQUEST FOR HELP FOR MY SISTER. I AM SO THANKFUL TO HER FOR DOING THAT. AND I THANK ANYONE WHO REACHES OUT AND HELPS MY SISTER IN HER TIME OF NEED. PLEASE IF YOU READ ANGIE'S JOURNAL OR THE GIVING TREE JOURNAL, IF YOU CAN FIND IT IN YOUR HEART TO HELP MY SISTER, I WOULD BE FOREVER GREATFUL TO YOU.
