A FIRE ON FRIDAY AUG 8, 2025 TOOK EVERYTHING FROM US, INCLUDING OUR SWEET CHIHUAHUA LUCY. A CALL CAME IN JUST AS I GOT OFF WORK AND I RUSHED HOME TO FIND THE FLAMES STILL COMING FROM THE BARN. WE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO GET CLOSE BECAUSE WE WERE TOLD IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS. MY HEART BROKE INTO A MILLION PIECES TO SEE ALL OF STAN'S HARD WORK GO UP IN FLAMES WAS. IT TOOK SEVERAL HOURS TO GET ALL HOTSPOTS EXTINGUISHED AND BY THE TIME THE FIREFIGHTERS LEFT, EVERYTHING WAS JUST A PILE OF BURNT RUBLE. NOTHING WAS SALVAGBLE! STARTING OVER WILL BE CHALLENGING BUT WITH GOD, EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. I WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL TO THE HALL COUNTY FIREFIGHTERS WHO BRAVELY BATTLED THE FIRE. AND TO FRIENDS & FAMILY THAT TOOK THE TIME TO CALL, TEXT AND BE PRESENT IN OUR TIME OF NEED. THIS TOO SHALL PASS, JUST GONNA TAKE TIME...
