via Daily Prompt: None
This photo was taken with my old camera, a Nikon D 90, a couple of years before my house burned down. I have no words, none really, to express the pain of losing everything. All my quilting, knitting, crocheting, painting, and a completed novel, gone up in smoke, in a manner of minutes. BUT we got out unscathed. For that I am thankful.
This was on my Dropbox and many other photos as well. I wish my novel would have been saved there as well. Fire took place October, 25, 2015. My mother passed away, October 25, 2013.

Maybe blessing of mother, you all safe.

Fire is terrifying. When a wildfire headed in the direction of my California mountain town (1/4 mile away from my house in all directions, ultimately. If there hadn’t been a hydrant RIGHT IN FRONT I would have lost my house) we had to evacuate. I looked around at all my things and finally just took two small books, my dogs, food, a tent, sleeping bag and dog food. I could not choose what to take and it seemed surviving was the most important thing of all. I’m sorry you lost your novel and your handiwork, but you are here. ❤

Thanks, Martha. It took me an entire year to get over it. And to look at flames once again without fear.
