Family trying to cope with tragedy

She not only suffered third-degree burns over nearly half of her body, but her husband, Howard Emmitt, 25, and elder son,12-year-old Cadarian Herd, died.

Tears rolled down her face as she recalled the tragedy.

"I thought it was a dream," Emmitt said. "I tried to close my eyes and wake up. But it wasn't."

After spending almost four months in the burn unit at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Emmitt is living with her two surviving children in her mother's small two-bedroom south Houston apartment.

"I'm blessed that the Lord spared my life so I could take care of my two children," Emmitt said. Ciara Herd, 9, and Howard Emmitt Jr., 3, survived the fire, but the little boy suffered burns on his hand. "But it's hard, it's really hard."

The most difficult part of coming home from the hospital was wondering how her children would react to her appearance, Emmitt said.
