I was about 6 years old and we had a litter of baby pigs on our back porch because the stupid mother had waded into our pond and got stuck and drown
It is a true story. We brought the babies home and put a blanked around them with a heat lamp to keep them warm. The lamp fell against the blanket and caught fire. While at church our neighbor ran into the church yelling at the tops of his lungs that our house was on fire. The whole church ran outside and true enough it was engulfed in flames. My mother who is an animal lover immediately ran into the burning house to save the pigs. There were no fire departments nearby it took them 20 minutes to get to our house and she didn't want to wait. She ran into the house stepping of burning wood and burning her feet (not seriously) to save the pigs. The pigs had already escaped. By this time the fire department arrived and were only able to save my mother piano all my childhood went up in smoke. The next day the local paper came to take picture of the house and thought it would be cute to take this picture of me holding the baby pig with a band aid on his nose where it had gotten burned and ran the story in the paper. (why pic has such poor quality) This is the only picture I have from me at this age. It really Sucks. Grandparents have tons of my older brother and sister but me being the baby they forgot about me
Now being a parent I can understand why.

houses can be replaced, lifes cannot and I guess your still have your memories
but sadly not the memoriblia of your childhood.
So I guess a somewhat good out come really
lookining at the photo I guess you see a little of the funnier side in the little pigs that cost a house
the area I grew up in had very much the village style about it
these days they seem to be a rare thing even in towns,
populations changing too much
So I am sure you have many beautful memories
and yes thats what folks did for one another
so thats good and heart warming to hear
when as you said given the chance to shine..I like that
just as a society we all have become a little more isolated
from each other them we use to be
