I think I must be dreaming

Have you ever felt your heart sink to your feet? Man that is such a sickening feeling, and I will never forget the day that this feeling came over me, but suddenly I felt Gods everlasting peace.  On April 2, 2013 I had ran to walmart in Troy in between my classes to grab my supplies when my phone rang, and I heard a voice on the other end.. Leigh, momma and daddy's house is on fire.. A long pause and then I reply back do what now.. the house Leigh its on fire.. I again reply I am on the way, but are you sure?  Yes I will call you back in a minute.. I picked up the phone and called my daddy's best friend knowing that it would take me an hour and half to get to mom and dad but he could be there in a minute.  HE picked up the phone and without even saying Hello he replies I am on my way.  Those words gave me a little hope that day.. You see my daddy always takes a short nap at lunch, and all I could think is o no my daddy is in that house.. I knew nothing that was happening or who was were except the house was on fire.. Walking out of walmart tears fell down my face and a lady says ma'am I am not sure what is wrong but I am praying I replied back thank you.  As I drove home I began to pray, Lord please I need to know everyone is okay, please Lord keep my family safe.  At that very moment saftey was the most important thing to us. We lost so many material things, but the memories will always be near my heart.
