Life and love of a mermaid

Our poor house is burned

I am just going to type and type for a while here. My mind is blown. I feel like I should be on my knees grateful that everyone in my family is safe, alive and healthy. And I really am. I also feel on the other side very sad and scared. Our house caught on fire last night and burned/damaged 2/3 of our home. I worked and put my heart into the house to make it a home where everyone was welcome. It was a real home. walking through last night broke my heart. The crunch of glass under my feet, seeing my son's room totally burned up. My mermaids melted on the wall..The wreckage of our home dumped onto my well loved and tended yard breaking it up in spots. I have always said,, we are all just a step away from being homeless.. and here we are. IN a hotel..that does not even have HBO!!
After everything else, now this. feeling sorry for myself....feeling SO grateful that we are all ok.
fuck...I feel spaced out and like I am going to wake up..

This is horrible. Yes it is. You won't believe me right now. You won't believe me for a long time. Everything is going to be OK.
Until then, as always, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I can't do much about the HBO situation other than complain to the management on your behalf....

oh no. I'm so sorry. I wish I had something to say that could help, I don't but I wanted you to know I saw your blog and am thinking about you.

You made that house a home and anywhere you lay your hat you will have the same effect on. I can feel it.

I just happened to come upon your blog and just want to let you know that my thoughts are with you. My husband and I had a similar experience 3 years ago when our condo burned, and remember the days of living in a hotel room and being displaced... and of course the loss of so many sentimental books and kitchen items that we will never replace.....I am so glad to hear that everyone in your family is physically ok and I know that you will come through this....but I know how hard it can be....Hang in there.
