My dad got a call this morning..."your cottage is on fire"
I thought he was joking. I decided to go with him to check it out. I had in mind a small fire, easily undercontrol.
We get there and all I can see is smoke. My heart just sake when I saw my precious cottage in flames....the whole front of it is burnt to nothing...by the time we left the whole inside was gone. The fire dept are still working on it, but dad needed to make some calls. The odd thing is we had everything off...the furnace, everything. We hadn;t stayed there in over a month. PLUS it rained all night...so I don't see how it happened!
The important thing is no one was inside....but I'm so terribly upset right now. I can't stop crying. I know you're probably thinking it's just a cottage, not your house...but it's more than that for me. I have so so many memories there....I remember when I was small, I would go visit my granny there...she would sit out on her lawn chair...man, she loved that place so much. My dad pretty much spent every summer there...it was a family thing. The last while I would take the dogs out there and spend some time by myself with the dogs. It was so peaceful and relaxing out there. I even had friends over for a party a few months ago. We had so much fun....Me and my mom would spend dtime out there....I even take my dogs running all the time out there off leash because it's so quiet. It means so much to me. And now it's gone. We don't have a ton of money to build a new one...and even if we did, it was the old one that ment so much to me.
I never thought this could happen to me...When I was a kid I use to always worry my house would catch fire. It's always been one of my biggest fears.
I feel so sad right now...like a big piece of me is gone.
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense...I'm not thinking good right now
