I spoke to 6 different insurance/restoration persons today, and have more coming tomorrow. They're sending a guy in the morning who is supposed to be able to determine cause and origin. When I asked them what was the point of that they said something about potential manufacturer liability, but I think the truth of it is that they wanna make sure I didn't throw some gasoline on it, and then drop a match. Good luck with that if they want to waste their time and money. Have at her.
Overall the co-operators has I admit been very good so far. They start cleaning up the garage tomorrow, and after the "cause and origin"guy is done they will work on getting rid of what's left of the RV and the big shed. I think everything will play out somewhat okay, and of course that's up to me anyway. If I'm okay with what they wanna give us, then I will be okay! One thing that's obvious is that it's gonna be a while until we get a new shed. That doesn't really matter of course cause we got nothing to put in it anyway. Fuck I'm sad about things like my saws and ladders and such! And such memories attached to both the RV and the shed. ...boo hoo...
They are also sending someone to sit with me on wednesday morning to try to rebuild my memory of all the stuff that was in the shed and the RV. This I thought was an excellent feature. Apparently they have strategies to twig your memory and hopefully we will be able to drag most of it out of my brain. We shall see.
And what I was not too tired for today was to enjoy the huge tray of wraps and salads that arrived at our house courtesy of an anonymous friend, but via caterer. I am please to report that Roo, Adrian, Mark, Michael, Miguette and myself all dug in, and will continue to do so for at least another day. Thank you dear friend....we know who you are!!
But like I said. Pretty tired so I'll leave it at that. Actually I will leave you with my most powerful memory of yesterday. A moment I will never forget as long as I live. I still get weak when I relive it, and it's a feeling I never want to have again. It was like this
My granddaughter looking up at me with the tears streaming down her face.....
"Grampa, I don't want the house to burn down"
And there stood the grandfather who she calls her real life superhero, also crying uncontrollably, and powerless to grant her wish....
