As the days pass, it becomes more difficult to explain we have and are still going through but since my wifi just went on after four days, I’ll talk about how it was on the second day of the disaster.
I'm glad that your area is safe. Palisades and Altadena are horror scenes, examples of what is bound to disappear, the way Paradise and Lahaina did, though they are slowly coming back to life. Pacific Palisades will likely be rebuilt; there is a lot of money behind that community. Money, though, cannot heal the invisible wounds that come with living through such abject terror. Those, high and low alike, who have lived through the firestorm will carry scars the rest of their lives. They need our grace and steadfast emotional support, as you gave to the Belgian AIDS patient.
