Sorry it took me a min to realize and react to everyone. I don't like to ask for help, I'm prideful. Yesterday was a pure nightmare. And out of everybody living there, i took the worse hit because it was right under me. Ive always had issues with my sinus, so my wife brought me a small box of benedryl... she left to go to work. She told the uber to turn around because she saw smoke. All i remember it's her yelling at me. I was so drowsy, i didn't understand why she was yelling. She said "baby wake up wake up, the apt on fire" i know i didn't leave the stove on. Anyway, i got up slowly she said "look out the window" when i touch the window, it was hot. So i ran to my balcony and opened it, fire gushed in. I was still reacting slowly. She was at the front door screaming "baby come, we gotta go". I grabbed my shoes and jacket... slowly. Boyyyy when i looked down the 3 flights is stairs it was so unreal. A nightmare. Fire was on the stairs! I really thought it was a nightmare. I walked thru the flames. My wife saved my life. If she didn't turn around, i wouldn't be here today. I lost everything that i worked so hard to get. Everything, but I'm blessed too be here. Thank u all for your support. And kind words. Im up right now because i can't sleep. Imagine being sleep and waking up to fire and smoke everywhere. I just keep thinking what if she didn't wake me up... Thank u Lord Jesus. I am forever grateful.
