Climate Change
As I watched the caravan
go up in smoke; people around me said don’t worry you can rebuild. Didn’t they see the same thing I saw my life engulfed in fire? How do you come back
from loss like that? All my pictures were gone of my family and friends over
the years… gone in a few moments. I was devastated. My mother and father were
gone, where could I replace those pictures.
A few days later I dealt with the insurance company
and of course that was a struggle to prove that my possessions existed; the only good thing my cousins offered me photos of my parents. Months
went by and all those people who had offered me a place to stay dried up and
still no insurance pay out. Finally after a year I could finally purchase a new
trailer. I chose wisely and found a beautiful new trailer had it erected on my
property. Today I’m moving out again and there’s no time to move my caravan as
the fire rages a mile from my home. I think I’m going to move to another place
where forest fires don’t rage. Climate change is real just ask my neighbours.
