So hard to see all the devastation. Glad you're safe/okay overall. Someone was telling me that growing up here you get used to ashfall, not snowfall -- sad thought.
"...it’s letting go of hope, sitting still in your gravest fears, and realizing you are still okay that has been the most helpful with grieving." Such powerful words.
All of this. I love you. Can’t believe I flew into all of this. Also: “They need safe harbor, not a rambling woman in her pajamas, holding her phone in one hand, her will in the other.” This is it. The end.
I feel like you took the words out of my mouth. Been having so many flashbacks to 9/11. Yesterday ash all over the cars and in my hair and up my nose reminded me of the smell in nyc and knowing what was In those ashes-And not knowing how long it would take for the fire to go out-and knowing people I love were in there both suffering and fighting the fire. I could see flames from my window. I could not think of anything “valuable” to pack and I had a panic attack. I just wanted it all to stop and for everyone to be safe and ok. And having no idea how or when that would happe. Made anything else seem silly to fuss over. Thanks for writing this. I thought maybe I was going crazy or overreacting.

Thank you for sharing and glad you are safe.
“Hope is what’s left after you lose all hope.” I’m glad you and yours are safe. Stay well Lynn.
