This week has sucked..

There was a really big fire this morning in Lisbon Falls.  I just got an email from one of my 4-H leaders that the family involved is one that has been pretty active in one of our groups.  Two of the little girls did not make it in the fire- they were 6 and 10. The older brother is not aware that his little sisters did not get out.

I cannot even fathom what this family is going through.   Please think of them.  I believe we will be doing some sort of fundraiser/something for this family in the upcoming week.

    What an absolute tragedy, I am so so beyond sad to hear about this! This is absolutely heartbreaking, and I hope the family is able to lean on their loved ones and community for support. Lots and lots of T&P to this family, and I'm so sorry that you have had such a tough week Kristy, big hugs coming your way!

    I was watching the news when it was first released - I just looked at Abby and lost it.  She had no idea why I was crying and hugging her so tight.  I'm sorry for your loss, Kristy.  These tragedies are really the worst kind.  Saying a prayer for the families.

    Oh my God those poor little girls & their family - heartbreaking doesn't even describe what they must be feeling.  Thoughts & prayers going out to them.
