Oh, that's the spirit...in fact I witnessed it last year about same time in my In-Laws place.. fire had finished everything... I have a post on the experience... here:
and the eldest stood and said, " well, will have to rebuild..lets start". This is true..and they are half way through..touch wood.. thanks for writing this..
Wonderful Haiku it's true it's in the human experience we pull it together and persevere. My prayers go out to all those who have been affected by all these devastating tornadoes
Excellent :) Short, great words to convey the destruction, and I love the spirit of the thing: we built it the first time, we can do it a second time, or however many times we need to, because a home is more than the building we keep our stuff in.

I can't even imagine how I would face the total destruction of everything I'd worked for. I admire that kind of perserverance.
