E7: Devastating loss...no confession today
from The Tenacious Mama: Confessions of An Adoptive Mother · host Leslie
Due to the recent and very sudden loss of my family's home of almost 40 years in the Pacific Palisades fire, instead of a confession, I will be reflecting on the memories that made their house a treasured home. If you know others who have been impacted by the fires, feel free to share this episode with them. Their grief and sorrow must be as raw and incomprehensible and my family's. Included in this episode:*the day of the fire: my brother's efforts to save the house*the shock of finding out our home had been destroyed* my memories from 16 years old to present*we still have the memories in our hearts, even without the physical structure*how special the 4th of July was in Pacific Palisades*my family in temporary housingFeeling helpless and wanting to help victims of fires in Los Angeles?
