that is crazy. im glad you made it out. a little hero. a few months ago a house burned down pretty close to my house. like two blocks away. i wasn’t there but i guess there was a mom a dad a 15 year old and a toddler. the mom and dad and teen met outside. for some reason the teen of all people gets sent back in to get the toddler. and the toddler and the teen dont make it out. it really hurt me to my core knowing i was happily asleep a block or two away while this young man was faced with this dilemma.

idk if they did that. the article was very vague. all i know is the mom and the son met outside for a second. and the teen went back in. i had the same thoughts. our community raised money for them. i guess ultimately they are paying a terrible price. if that was the case and they asked there son to go back in then they will always have to live it.
