Thank you for the kind words. I'm sorry to hear that your brother had a hard time. I felt so fortunate that the insurance company was so supportive and for our local contractor, who several of our friends had worked with and all had good experiences. We were so fortunate..

Thanks for sharing this post, Sarena. I'm so sorry you and your family had to go through this experience, but it warms my heart to read how you're able to focus on gratitude. I love that you're doubling down on it in 2024 - it's on my list of resolutions too, to really FEEL my gratitude for all the many things for which I am thankful. And that definitely includes you - I so appreciate your support as a fellow author and friend. Here's wishing you a wonderful year, and I look forward to hopefully seeing you at BKBF, if not at another book event.

Hi Sarena, I'm so sorry that you suffered such a catastrophic loss. Last Christmas, my brother also had a lot of water damage and had extensive renovation work done to his house--walls, ceilings, bathrooms, floors, etc. His work was completed a couple of months ago. However, he did have to fight with the insurance company and some of the contractors. I feel sorry for your little lost kitty but grateful for all the important and special items that were saved from harm. Take care. Best wishes for a New Year that will be filled with wonderful memories! Karen Neary (Karen Leigh Charles)
