I'm having a hard time today. My sister spent a good part of the last few months getting ready to open up a new preschool in my little town. It was very much needed. She took out a $15,000 loan and my parents chipped in some $$$$ to help out and there was a lot of work put into it. My other sister and niece were going to work there--which would have been great for them because they don't drive and they live right down the street from it. Well, this morning, the preschool caught on fire and burned down. It had just been inspected and approved, too.

Well, it's harder on my sis than it is on me, I just feel really bad for her. I'm doing better today but yesterday I was in tears.

I am so sorry this happened. All the work to put the preschool together, and then fire. My heart goes out to your sister, you, and your family.
Thanks for this!

That's horrible. What a blow. I'm sorry.

Of course a part of me wants to know how in the hell the fire happened.

I'm not sure if they found out what happened yet; sis seems to be doing okay, my son talked to her today and she seemed to be in better spirits.

My computer is haunted--it stinks.
