It's tough to cover stories sometimes... especially tragic ones during the holidays.
Two days before Christmas, a local family loses everything inside their home, including their family cat. It's one of the saddest stories I've covered involving a house fire. The mom, who is disabled, takes care of her in-laws, her mother who is ill in the hospital and everyone else. She says her home was almost paid off (only 9 months to go).
Neighbors tell me, the family has been through a lot, but works very hard. The son is a college student and the father drives a truck to make money.
Today, they lost their home, their cat & their Christmas presents.
But, not their spirit.
The homeowner tells me, she's counting her blessings and is relieved her two dogs are alive because they were at the vet. She says her son would have been sleeping during the day with their cat, but he was volunteering as "Santa Claus" with his dad.
I can't promise her good things are on the way, but I sure do hope they are...
