At least I had some clothes again. Meanwhile, my dad returned to our home to see what he could salvage (抢救). The only thing he could find was my mom's wedding ring, but it was than nothing.
As more summer came, my dad was able to rent us a dusty old house by the side of the road near our old house. As we moved in, I watched as family, friends, and other people in our community donated all they could us get back on our feet. There were more clothes, furniture, food money and even some books for me to read.
Looking back now, I am grateful for everything we went through that summer because it taught me so much about life, love, and people. It showed me that when you have nothing left but love, that can still be enough.
