July 4th, 2016. We pulled down my street and I leaped out of the car before it could even come to a halt. Tears streaming down my face I ran through what seemed like a decent crowd of people. Firetrucks blocked my view until there it was. My family's beautiful home with firefighters all around, ripping off pieces of the roof, banging through walls, making sure the fire hadn't spread. I first made sure my dog was safe. She was, grass sitting, tail wagging. I then looked up and saw my room. Out of my window spewed clouds of smoke. All I could think is, we're screwed, I'm screwed. I began to assess what I was probably about to lose. My clothes. My baby blankets. My treasured moments. My grandpas sweater and the necklace he got me. My bible. The list was endless.
