The clean up has begun on Shannon's parents house. They have removed all the furniture from the bedroom and all the stuff in the storage closet beside the room. In that storage closet was some very precious memories of Shannon's. All her and her brothers baby pictures were in there. She was afraid they had been destroyed but they were in great condition. Nothing had touched them at all. A blessing from God.
They have removed all the wet burnt insulation that has fallen from the ceiling off the floor and they are trying to get things ready to start the remodeling. The bad part of it all is, the whole entire roof will have to be removed and rebuilt. All the framing on that side of the house is burnt so therefore the whole roof has to be gone. And this is not a small house either so it's going to be a big ordeal. Her parents will have to be out of their house for at least 6 months. They will probably move into an apartment until then. You can tell they already feel displaced and feel that they have no place to go. I feel for them deeply.
I don't know what it would be like to drive 10 hours and the whole time your driving your house is on fire and you can do nothing at all. Except rely on a hillbilly from West Virginia (ME) to give you updates on a cell phone. That would be frightening enough. But everyone said they were proud of me and the way I handled the situation. I wasn't quite sure if i could, but God gave me strength from above and good people there with me to handle the situation. I ask that you continue to pray for their dilemma and that everything going on will not weigh them down with worries and stress. Thanks
