Day 90 May 21, 2010

This picture is titled "Child's Play". It may not be so apparent but the upstairs and attic of this home has been completely demolished by fire today and because a child saw where his Uncle put the matches he had watched his Great Grandmother use to light the stove that used to heat the house. He lit one upstairs while the others were in the living room and set the place ablaze. Everyone got out safely. The little boy is about 3. Do you see how close together the houses are on either side of it? The miracle of the event is that neither was so much as scorched even though the flames were licking out the windows. The photo is taken through the rain on a window pane hoping to echo the sorrow this event has caused on so many levels. The future is uncertain. There was no insurance: cancelled because there was no debt on the home...
