fire

My mom came home today with a dog.
I asked her where it came from, she was upset and told me she would tell me later.
Well, later she finally told me that my aunt Ruthy and her went shopping and when they were driving home, they saw this house on fire. They also saw a lady jump out of the second story window.
My mom and aunt got out, they were comforting and holding the lady until the firemen got there. Turns out the lady's 3 children died in the fire, they were carried out by the firemen. The dog we got was tied up in the back of the house. The lady broke her back from the fall and the father (who wasn't there) is threatening to commit suicide at the hospital. My aunt Ruthy works at the hosiptal and she is there now. The lady doesn't know her children are dead yet....:(

please pray for them, my mom is at the hospital now, tomorrow it will be in the paper and I'll post the article.

here's an update. my mom said he was trying to get into the house to save the children, my mom says she'll never forget the look in his eyes when the house was on fire...

Bless those young men in a day that we don't see enough said about the good kids around. Prayers for the parents of the lost children. How is the dog doing that your mom rescued?

We sent him to the humane society but I think he's staying at Gail's(The director of the humane society) house. They are trying to contact the owners and see if they want him anymore.
As for the lady, my mom was watching the Chicago news and she had changed her story on the t.v. she told my mom that she had been asleep woke up and then jumped out of the window and all her kids were downstairs, but on the news she said that she could see all her kids and was holding the baby. She didn't know who to save first so she put the baby down and jumped out the window. Now a detective wants to talk to my mom about the story she heard!
