When our house flooded, it was a terrible occasion. It took a lot of work to overcome the challenges we faced.
During a storm, a water main broke and flooded my entire house just a few weeks after my son was born. It destroyed a lot of our belongings and the house was ruined.

I hope you're recovering well enough! That is absolutely devastating news to read.

We have recovered finally. We ended up having to live in a hotel for a few weeks until we found a new place to live. Our family was very helpful.

That's great news! Did you have insurance?

We did so the financial aspect was not much of a hardship, but it was during Thanksgiving holiday so it made Christmas shopping difficult.
