Makes Me Think - Today, my neighbor's house burned to the ground. I told him that I couldn't even begin to imagine what it would be like to have my whole life burn to the ground. He looked at me, smiled and said, "My life didn’t burn to the ground. If it did, I wouldn’t be standing here." MMT

So true - a guy I went to high school with had his family home burn completely to the ground. His parents were in church when the fire started, and got to the house as soon as they could. The one thing his mom wanted from their burning house? Her son's ashes. And the firemen got them.
