Almost a traumatic story (long)

May 09, 2007 07:38 PM

So Sunday night early Monday morning my phone rings and it is my sister crying hysterically. She tells me that my gram's neighbor's house is on fire. My gram lives in a row of townhouses, so there is not much separating each home. I start freaking out and ask how my gram is, is she ok?? Then it hits me.........MY WEDDING DRESS IS BEING STORED AT MY GRAM'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My sister is like OMG we didn't even think about it, I am hysterical now!! Well it took me 1/2 hour to get to my gram's and when I got there they tell me that they ran up to a fireman and told him that there was a wedding dress in a certain bedroom and is there any way that they can get to it? Well when my mom came walking up the street they came out and handed her my dress!! It was saved before the fire got too bad. The bag has a slight smoke smell, but the dress does not have any smell at all!! My gram is ok, she could save some things but her place got too much smoke and water damage for her to live there again. My gram felt so bad for me but it could have been replaced if it had to be, thank the firemen!!!!!! At least nobody was hurt!!
