What’s to say on this subject that hasn’t already been said? Instead of dwelling on how sad and tragic this day was (honestly, I’m not sure I ever want to relive that kind of depression again), I try really hard to focus on the incredible spirit and love that arose from the depths of this country to help each other get through that dark time. I’m proud to say I see it happening again as people are coming together to help the victims of the recent fires. Thank you to anyone and everyone who has ever answered the call to protect this country and the people in it–no matter what the cost. Just thank you.
