Two years' healing
On a somber, perhaps slightly emotional note, I blog the memory that is two years in passing today.
I am so glad to have this behind me. I wouldn't wish this sort of obstacle on my worst enemy...
Every time I hear firetrucks, sirens, firealarms... I can't help but think of the one time I heard those too familiar sounds this day two years ago and I never even considered they could play harbinger to hardships to come. If sound can carry feeling and instill happiness in bounds, the reciprocal is true in fear and sadness.
However, with the two year's passing of the house fire the insurance company closes the "inventory," which is the list to claim losses to be replaced.
Thank God. This list was a haunt of belongings destroyed and caused grief for two years--no one wanted to dwell on it long enough to complete it, that's probably why the insurance companies give people two whole years to do it.
Today is a happy anniversary. My family is healed, we have rebuilt not only our house and our possessions, but the infrastructures of our lives that were damaged not with smoke, water, or flames but loss.
