Luckiest man in the world

This has been a trying week.
Times of adversity really put things into perspective.
We have in our neighborhood, a world class medical facility for children that treated Dexter's croup with care and professionalism.
He's doing much better. I'm very lucky.
When our kitchen burned yesterday, and our neighbours came running to make sure no one was in the house, thankfully, Kiza and the kids were playing outside with the neighborhood kids.
No one was was hurt. I'm very lucky.
Last month Sheamus died peacefully in our presence, surrounded by love and sorrow.
He didn't die in the panicked terror of a fire. I'm very lucky.
Thanks to the outpouring of support from our friends we have all the essentials and a temporary roof over our heads. I'm very lucky.
We have a comprehensive insurance policy.
Right now, everyone is safe and sound and the rebuilding can begin. I'm very lucky.

  3. So relieved to hear that you're all safe and sound.
    And as I told Kiza so thankful that Sheamus was not still alive to be caught in what would have been a terrible end.
