Like my father's accident wasn't enough now my mother-in-laws house burned to the ground in a bizarre accident early Sunday morning.
She lived on a back road not far from our home. There is a sharp curve just before her house and apparently a guy was driving while intoxicated and took the curve way too fast. He lost control of the car and hit the tree just off from the back of Rose's house. The car then burst into flames and slammed into the deck off the back of the house. He fled on foot and never let anyone in the house know what was going on. The fire spread quickly from the deck into the cellar and then to the rest house. If not for a neighbor getting up early we would have lost more than the house. At the time there were 4 people inside. One of them being my oldest son Zachary who always spends weekends with his grandmother. The other three were of course my mother-in-law Rose, my sister-in-law Amy, and Amy's girlfriend Nikki. All did manage to get out without any injuries but they lost everything else.
For the time being all three are staying with us. I have no idea how often I will be on between trying to help them get settled and going back and forth to Albany to see my father.
To my Fu families....I am sorry I haven't been on, but it's not like I do not have a good reason. If needed I will step out of the families...as at this point my outside real life is much more important and it seems a near death experience of an immediate family member is not good enough reason to have certain titles and jobs taken away from one family anyways. I have enough stress right now that I don't want to have to worry about trying to please everyone I know here on Fu.
