One Month...and a New Blog

For those of you who have followed us this past month, 7:21 PM last night marked the one-month anniversary of the Shawnee Fire.

It's amazing what can transpire in a month...yet at the same time, some wounds feel as if they'll take forever to heal.

Case in point:  

11:00 PM last night.

Kathi is over at Amy & Lee's apartment, saying goodbye to Stormy the rescue cat who is heading to Wayside Waifs tomorrow to find her forever home.

A fire truck comes screaming into the apartment complex. Again. Conversation comes to an abrupt halt as, hearts pounding, they rush out -- to find a medical emergency in an adjacent apartment building. Needless to say, the timing isn't exactly great. But as far as Amy & Kathi are concerned, when sirens are involved, the timing may always be bad.

And it doesn't help that Kathi's new apartment still smells like smoke from fire #2....

After a month, most people tend to drift away from tragedy. Other things vie for their attention, and at any rate, the victims seem to be adjusting well. At least in public. But we know that grieving and healing take time.

So on this anniversary, we wanted to take a moment to let Amy & Kathi know: your friends are still here for you.

Thanks to everyone for your support of Amy/Sebastian and Kathi/CJ - both financially and emotionally. Words cannot express how much that means!


And now, by popular demand...CJ now has his own blog, CJ's Paw Pad. Go take a look at how well his fur is beginning to grow back in!
