Our house is an empty shell right now. Everything is gone except the sub-floor boards. I can't fully describe the depths of sadness that I have experienced. When I thought I was at rock-bottom, I learned all of my beautiful floors in the bedrooms were doomed to be ripped out. They looked perfectly fine, but the bottoms and between the boards would always smell of smoke, so they had to go. I spent countless hours sanding those floors to near perfection. Now they are in a landfill along with the rest of the interior of our house......so sad.....
It's been almost a month since the fire. The shock and pain of this tragic accident are beyond anything I have ever experienced. I can't, nor do I want, to write about it. It is too heart wrenching. I only hope that some day Cindy and I will return to something that resembles the normalcy of our life before the fire. Our only bright spot through this is our love for each other which makes us unbelievably strong. Without Cindy, I would collapse and give up.
