Daughter had House Fire

[JohnnyTheFox]

I am so sorry about the house fire and the loss of their precious cat.

On January 24, 2014, I lost my best friend, my brother-in-law to a house fire. We were playing on our new Christmas presents, our PS4s. We were talking and have the best time of our life killing a witch in Destiny. As we were talking to each other, I heard glass breaking and a loud boom. The next thing I heard was my sister-in-law screaming. I later found out the loud glass sound was the windows breaking. My best friend Neal, said, "where's my good flashlight". I then heard static and crackling and nothing else. Neals's wife made it out safely. She had run by his room where he was playing screaming for him to come out. I later found out he almost made it out. Worst day of my life, for me and my wife and her family. Life has been changed forever.

They were using an older fireplace with an insert. The memory never goes away. The fire marshal said the upper part of the house and the lower part were on fire. I think the chimney wasn't solid.
Not a day doesn't go by that my wife and I don't think of him. Life has changed for all of us. His wife has never got over it either.

To make it even worse, my mother in laws health started getting worse after this and my wife moved in to take care of her because her health got worse. My wife then lost her mother 2 years after this, her dad passed away from cancer 4 years earlier.
It's been very tough, and last week my mother-in-law's cat had to be put down due to kidney failure. That was the last thing of her mama's.

So very sorry to hear all this, sounds like it is quite overwhelming. Would like to offer my prayers.

Thank you, brother. That is all we can do. We put it in God's hands.

2 youngest Grand Daughters had to go to hospital for smoke inhalation they are out now No major damage mostly 1 bedroom and lots of smoke damage We have a full house right now.1 fatality a very beautiful Siamese cat with big blue eyes and she was my buddy They got off light according to the fire chief . Charging Laptop started the fire .

Be thankful that everybody escaped with minimal injuries. Stuff can be replaced, family can not. Lightning hit my home several years ago and we were lucky that nobody was in the house. The investigators said that is was highly likely that nobody would have survived that lightning hit. We lost everything that we had in just a few minutes. It didn’t seem like it at that time, but replacing stuff is not that hard to do.
