This is a nice story and I'm glad only the mother had minor injuries. It is amazing sometimes how the only room in the house still standing is the one room or closet that the family sought shelter in. I do have one quibble with the article though. The material objects may be gone, but none of the lifetime of memories was erased in any way. The family is intact and they still have all those memories with which to continue sharing. The house and furniture can be replaced, but the children cannot. That is the blessing in the story.
