One of the firemen put up a ladder to help her out, but just as the ladder went up, the roof of , our house caved in. The fireman barely escaped with his life; I knew she hadn't. The fire was put out sometime in the early, morning of Christmas Day. The firemen and neighbors stayed to help start clearing away the charred wood and burnt things lying around. One of the men found her under a large beam. She looked like she was sleeping; the" fire hadn't touched her at all. It was the beam that killed her. In her arms she was holding a brightly wrapped Christmas present, slightly burnt me the and as they men thanded anywhere in the crowd. I began to scream for her. Dad ran oyer to us children to see why I was screaming. When he found out that Mom wasn't there he also began looking for her. We asked around, but no one had seen her. Suddenly, we heard a scream coming from the second floor or the house. Everyone looked up and watched in horror as my covered her body I slowly opened it. Inside was the porcelain doll that she had received for her thirteenth Christmas. This year was my thirteenth Christmas and the doll was to be mine. That was over five years ago. It was a late Christmas Eve three years after the fire as I sat in bed thinking it all through again. I walked into the storage room where we had packed all of mother's things away. I opened up her cedar chest and lifted out the doll she had meant for me. I brushed the doll off and as I was straightening one of her curls I heard a footstep in the doorway. My father walked in and he put his arm around me. Slowly the rest of the family came in. We sat there and no one made a sound until father . started singing "Silent Night." We stayed there together and sang for almost an hour. When we began "O' Holy Night" I heard another voice join in with ours. I knew instantly whose beautiful soprano voice it was, and just knowing that she was there with us made everything all right.

Just as we heard the fire engine coming up the road, my parents came stumbling out of the house. They were choking from the thick smoke, but they held several of the children's Christmas presents.

It might have been started by a spark from the fireplace or one of our Christmas tree candles. I just don't know. The fire started at about 9:30 p.m. The children had been put to bed early because of Christmas the next day. Dad, Mom and I brought out all the little children first and then Mom and Dad tried to get some of 'our furniture and clothes. The fire was spreading fast. I was beginning to get worried, because Mom and Dad had been inside so long. The neighbors came over to see if they could help.
