I saw Dad again Friday at lunch.

I saw Dad again Friday at lunch.  Shaun and I took him some free sandwich coupons for Chick-Fil-A (we had lunch there and I told one of the employees about the fire and asked for free food coupons.  Thankfully, the manager was nice enough to let us have a couple.)  Since they are staying in a hotel in Oxford for now I figured the least I could do was try to make some of the food easy.  All they have at the moment is a mini fridge and a microwave - and unfortunately, all of those small expenses add up.  🙁

Dad also needed a phone charger and was actually on the phone with Lisa trying to tell her what to get, but I remembered that I had my new one in my purse and gave it to him.  I may not be able to do a super lot, but I will do everything I can to make their lives easier right now.  I don't how else to handle this besides being there and doing any little thing I can.

I texted him a earlier and he was in Munford checking on the remaining animals.  They go every day to feed and love them.  Another family member lives very close by, so they are helping to keep an eye on things.  He said that every time they go over, nosey people stop and ask what happened.  He said he's ready for some peace and quiet, which I can understand.  I would hate being badgered into re-hashing a horrible day in life repeatedly - especially when I'm trying to focus my efforts onto rebuilding.  🙁

I know that I've probably tapped out every last one of you who read my posts, but I'm so close to $1000 on this GoFundMe that I'm gonna share it again.  If I could just get $190 more in there I would feel so happy.  I know - it's just an arbitrary number that I picked, but it's good to have goals and they REALLY need it.  They are hoping to find a mobile home and get it moved this week.  Thanks in advance!
