There was a fire....(pictures on pg 3)

[Catty1]

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?

[mina'smomma]

I'm so sorry you lost your cottage. While it wasn't your home I can understand why the lost has upset you. It was your last connection with your Grams. If you have home insurance it should cover the home and anything lost in it.

(((((Hugs)))))

To try and answer your question:

There is a saying: "Every could has a silver lining."

It WAS thoughtless, in a way, for someone to put that pic in the paper.

But - the "silver lining" might be that more people, such as your friends and neighbours, might see it and come forward to offer help.

Maybe not - but you never know.

You're on PEI, right?

GORGEOUS place...and good people.

I am guessing - but let me know if your dad is getting lots of phone calls or what.

I am glad you feel better...I hope you can get some sleep soon. HUGS HUGS HUGS HUGS!

Oh my, Audrey, I'm so sorry.

[Ginger's Mom]

That is so sad, I am so sorry to hear that you have lost such a special place. It was a very cute cottage. It is nice that at least something survived, and that you have some wonderful memories there.

Ohhh Audrey how heartbreaking , my heart goes out to you and your family {{Hugs}}. You will all be in my thoughts.

That's heart wrenching!! I'm so sorry.. It must be heart breaking looking at it like this now..

[wolf_Q]

Those pictures are very sad.....looking at it before...what a cute cottage, I'd love to have a place like that to go myself. I wish I knew what to say to cheer you up, I definitely understand how upset you are!

[GreyhoundGirl]

Oh, my. Those pics are heart-breaking. I'm so sorry. Glad everyone was OK though.

The pictures shows up on the newspaper's website, Audrey, but when you click on it, the story is something different about breakfast in schools. Just the picture, itself, is horrifying. I'm so sorry.

Logan: I can't find the story online, but basically all is said was there was a fire at a cottage, used to be owned by the late premier of PEI (my grandfather) current owners unavailable for interview (I wonder) They talked a little about my grandfather...I guess cause they couldn't get a hold of us...

And yes, my dad has been getting calls from friends of his...but he still didn't want it in the paper. The cottage was on private property anyway. Someone from the estate took the picture and sent it into the paper.
