I know how that feels. We had a shop fire a couple of years ago the day after christmas. Most of the stuff from the house was in there because we were remodeling. I'll keep you in my thoughts, and PM me any time you feel like you need to vent or BS. I know what it's like to lose things that can't be replaced.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Main thing is you and your family are alright and together. Don't worry about items lost, they are for the most part replaceable, you and your family are not.
As most of these ppl here love fishes and what not, but I'm sure they'd all agree, NOTHING, and I MEAN NOTHING is above You and your Family.
Hope everything works out for you!

Sorry to hear about your fire! Hope everbody was ok! Can't even imagine what it's like to loose all the possesions you worked for!
Thanks to everyone for the kind words, yes the family is all ok my kids were at Grandmas for the holiday weekend and thats a good thing too becouse they have cystic fibrosis which causes respritory problems so it was good that they werent there to inhale all that smoke.
All animals were saved thanks to Ontario FD they brought out my wifes cousin's Chameleon and the neighbors ran in extension cords to keep the tanks running. the dog was safe in the backyard so all is good there.
As for the start of the fire it turns out to be accidental while welding early in the morning some of the sparks must have landed somewhere that I didnt see them and just minutes after I left the whole thing went up. some things can be replaced (fishing gear, rc cars, powertools, and hockey equipment) my kids baby pix cannot be replaced but I see is as at least we still have the kids which isnt always the case with early morning and night time fires so we are definatly blessed.
Thank you all for your kind thoughts sorry I couldnt respond earlier but where I'm at now I dont always get a turn at the computer.
God Bless and we will press on.

Well hang on in there bud.
A lot of us have been thinking of you or praying for you. Life goes on, feelings and emotions numb, and in time it will all be a distant memory with no long term affects.
Take it easy and keep at it. I am glad everyone and the animals (*fish*) are fine.

Thank the big fella you're all well-hard times don't last but hard people do. Thoiughts with you anf the family.
I dont know why I'm bringing this back up now but it's been a year and three months since this happened and I dont know why but I went back and read alot of what people wrote when this happened. Its amazing how at the time that this occured it seemed like things would never be the same again and how people were saying such nice and encouraging things but they were just words to what was such a harsh reality for us, yet here we are stronger, smarter (in some ways) and better off than we were before, well just to inform whoever reads this we ended up being out of the house for 7months, we moved back in in July of 07 and even though I dont have all the possesions I had before I can honestly say that I havent missed a single item do to needing it rather than just wanting it. Looking back and what people wrote you start to see how true many of the things that were seid really are. The important things like my family I cannot take for granted and if we had lost someone that day things would not be the same today we really have overcome and made it through stronger than before. I want to take this opportunity to thank all my MFK friends and family for all the well wishes and prayers and even if many of us never meet this truely is a family and I appreciate all the kind words. Thank you all this is well overdue and I apologize for it. Thanks again. God is good to teach and correct and remove from our lives that which keeps us from him and is not needed in our lives, he is in control and much of what he does, doesnt make sense to us at that time but he is faithful even when we are not. God Bless all.
I am glad you came back to tell us that you were doing better and survived your ordeal and also that you feel thankful that through it all the most important things in life are not the material things..As time passes it is amazing how we forget those things and focus on the positives..that is what gives you strength to go on... reading this it is good to hear you strong and confident , and i wish you the very best into the future..
im glad you are back in your home now and it is great to hear the positive thoughts and feelings you have gained from this terrible experience. i hope things now keep getting better for you. sounds like you deserve it
