Southern California Wildfire Victims Save Family Portraits…
My heart and prayers go out to all of you who are affected by these devastating fires. I sincerely hope you are out of harm’s way, that you & your family and loved ones are safe and secure, and that your lives are not directly affected by these catastrophic fires.
I don’t think people can comprehend the force of a fire that can move 20 miles in an hour, in the face of winds gusting to 60 mph. It’s impossible to understand unless you are there living in it and experiencing it, and that experience is not something I wish upon anyone… For those in the front lines in Santa Clarita, Malibu, Topanga, north San Diego county, Irvine, Foothill Ranch, Arrowhead… and especially for the incredibly tireless and couragoues firefighters… I wish you the very best.
I watched one interview after another of people frantically packing their most prized possessions in their vehicles during mandatory evacuations. And what are among the things that matter most? The family portraits. The memories we carry with us are really all that matters sometimes, and the time we have together is what is cherished and valued above all else.
