Bob, the material things are just that. The insurance comapany should mitigate the smoke damage and any storm damage.

Your strong faith has already proven itself, not only in your love for your mom and your care of her cognitive impairment, but also in the fact that it was the thunderstorm that saved your home from destruction and took care of the locusts. You still have a home!

Hug your wife, be patient with mom and a good prayer for your puppy.

Find something fun to do, off the cuff to remind you all that it's another one of life's tests and that you will survive.

Stay positive and have faith!

"I contend that not only can you laugh at adversity, but it is essential do so if you are to deal with setbacks without defeat" - Allen Klein

Prayers go out to you and yours!

Keith - Still Lovin Livin
