Real-life Country Song: Man loses house, job in 2 hours!
April 25, 2009

OREGON CITY, Ore. -- An Oregon City man just couldn't catch a break Friday. First he lost his job and then he went home to find his house on fire.

Victor Gonzalez said there was a silver lining to getting fired Friday.

"If I hadn’t gotten fired from work, I wouldn’t have come home, and I don’t know how far the fire would’ve gotten. So I guess that’s a good thing," he said.

The single father lost his job and his house in a matter of two hours Friday morning.

The fire broke out just after 9 a.m. at the house on Canyon Ridge Drive. Luckily, everyone got out safely thanks in part to Gonzalez's 12-year-old daughter.

He said he knew everything would be OK with his daughter there to help out.

They say when it rains it pours. This poor family had a monsoon that day. They have lost so much but being the optimist I am it just means bigger and better things are on their way. Many prayers to the family.

Wonderful words of wisdom!!!

&#8220;You can choose to laugh or you can choose to cry and I&#8217;m choosing to laugh because I don&#8217;t want to know what&#8217;s going to happen if I cry,&#8221; he said
