The Tower had collapsed.

---------------------------------------------

I woke up in complete darkness. And just as I started to panic realizing were I was, buried under the tower. Light started to seep through and then more and more. Someone had found me. It was the firefighter, Jake. He looks at me in surprise and helps me up.

Did he not know I was there?...I mean he dug right for me. He picks me up and I look behind me. It's one of the dogs, and it's gone.

I got the medical treatment I needed. I only had minor injuries. A broken rib, fractured wrist, cuts and bruises. Plus a concussion. They soon released me from the hospital. As soon as I walked out the door in walked in my kids. I quickly wrapped them up in hugs, and I started to cry. That's when I asked them where there father was.

Nobody answered me at first. I understood what they meant though. There father, my husband was gone. His tower must have taken him down.
But I can get through this pain and help my kids through it. We are a strong family.
