Quote From: tapyxes This is to Michel, the lady that was on your show today, Be greatful that you were not in your house when it burned. Material things can be replaced but lives can't. 
The reason I was so frustrated, is 30 years ago this month we had a house fire. The difference was we lost our oldest son ,8 years old , and our youngest daughter 2 years old. We got our other two children 4 and 6 years out . Lost was our house and all of our posesions. whitch means nothing comparied to a life 
My wife and I were in the hosptial for 31 days ,my son was in for 18 days and my other daughter was in just overnight. We couldn't even go to our chidrens fureral, because of our burns.  
You say WHY take my kids, take ME. I guess we never know why that GOD take some and leaves others. 
Just look around when you think that you have it so BAD. You don't have to look very far to see just how lucky you are . 
About a week or so after I got out of the hosptial, there was another house fire in a town about 10 miles away from us. This couple lost there home and all of there children. I went to see the couple to try to comfort them , since I had lost my own children I felt that maybe I could comfort them some. 
So when you think that you have had such bad luck , just look around you and see how lucky you are. 
Just my 2 cents from Malone, N.Y.

Hello Patrick,
I am so terribly sorry for the losses you have suffered. My heart goes out to you and your family. I am greatful for not being in the home. The point that I feel like I was a little short on was the abuse, contractor fraud, and no family. I was just trying to focus on getting over it and trying to help myself as well as others. I never viewed it as bad luck,nor looking for an excuse. I know I am blessed for strong people do prevail through hard times no matter what the circumstances may be. All I wanted was some guidance and feel secure in making decisions again. I beat myself up for what happened for so long that I had to end it. Again...thank you so much for the message and I wish you and yours much happiness.
