two of ours students were killed in a fatal blaze three days ago. I happen to know one of their roommates - dicocco - who got rescued out of blaze safely. their house wasn't very far away from me that we could smell the smoke. I went there yesterday for some photos, when I got there I couldn't take any pictures for a while. dazing at the blazed house.. amazed, you see it everywhee on the news, in the newspapers but you even realize more when you are right there.
a few minutes later there was a gentle warm hand of a neighborwoman patting my back, (thank god she did, otherwise I'd had not heard her), told me she was sorry and asked me if I knew any of them. I nodded and she again said oh I'm so sorry then gave me a hug. about a half hour later I walked up front the house, a woman in wheelchair came up behind me down the street, asked me if it was one of my friends - I only nodded because it was hard to communicate (she has only one hand also) then she said come on here, I walked up to her - she gave me a hug. I signed thank you and smiled - she then smiled, signed I love you, (how cool!) told me where she lives and wheeled away. I love when this happens - there are so nice and friendly people out there. it was touching and a sad day.
here are some pictures I took yesterday
you could see the glass on the car even melt ..
a student jumped out of window and caved the hood
everything everywhere..
the only things that weren't burned are some clothes
burned shoes everywhere
those students' families and friends have been in my thoughts - losing a kid at school away from home is scary - one of worst fears I think.they both just had services today out of the state.
