We don't think insurance will cover fire. It's going to cost 5-10k to clean up, but I think they will atleast cover that. I really don't care if we rebuild...it won't be the same. I know I still have the memories, but it still hurts that it's gone.
If anyone would ask "where is your favorite place? your place you can go relax and unwined and be safe" I would say my cottage. I took some pictures of it...I'll post after :( It really hurt looking at it now...my poor cottage..
Oh my goodness Audrey :( :( :( I am SO sorry. I know how much that cottage meant to you.. aww.. (((((((((HUGS)))))))) <33
Hey...I just got in and saw your last post.
Everyone who did post here meant it.
This afternoon, I was playing music at the funeral of a wonderful young man who died suddenly of heart problems last week. 48 years old. Loved by the whole community. I was asked by his "anam cara" (soul friend) to contribute music.
You and your family are still alive. Be grateful for that - and for the people that did post here.
Quality over quantity.
hugs
I'm sorry. It is such a huge deal to me and I'm still horribly upset. It was immature. I never said no one ment what they said. I know that and I appreciate all the comment.
How sad for you and your family. I know your cottage is irreplacable however, I hope there comes a time when your family can rebuild and with that, continue a cherished tradition.
Feel better :)

No, You are not immature!!! ;)Quote:

so, I do know how you feel!!!! It is every bit like a death.
Still, I have so much to be thank-ful for, THOSE DEAR MEMORIES!!!!!! :o
Savor those Beautiful Memories, How fortunate you are to have them~~ you know!!!
So sorry for your loss, a place like that will be forever special in your memories. If you don't rebuild, perhaps you and the dogs could still go camping on the site? Long walks, a nice (small) campfire, a night under the stars...or a tent...it would be different, but it could still be special. :) It sounds like such a lovely place.
I'm so sorry about the fire. I know what you mean about memories. I have great ones of my grandparents cottage up north. It's no longer ours and I miss it dearly.
Is it possible that lightning caused it?
*hugs*
Thats so sad sorry
I didn't see this until now........I'm so sorry to hear this, Audrey. :( I know how much you loved that cottage. It sounded like such a wonderful place to go and relax, let the dogs run, etc. I would be devastated too. I'm glad that nobody was hurt in the fire, but it still hurts that it is gone. {{hugs}}
How scary Audrey. I am so sorry. Thankgod no one was there or inured. yous are in my thoughts & prayers.
Front page in our paper this morning

The bottom right. Someone submitted the picture without asking...My dad really didn't want this in the paper
B***** press! They never realise that what they are reporting isn't "just a story" to some people. How are you today?
There might be a silver lining to this...just wait a few days. I hav a feeling... ;)
I'm a lot better today, thanks for asking. I barely slept last night though. I kept picturing the cottage, and a bunch of scary thoughts and dreams all night. I had to sleep with my TV on cause I couldn't get the thoughts out of my head.
Catty: what do you mean by silverlining?
