They just don't make words for this. My family and I say goodbye to our home and neighborhood in Pacific Palisades, California, January 13, 2025.
If you'd like to help victims of the Southern California fires, LA Times has a list of aid organizations here:

At this time Roxanne and I aren't asking for direct help, as we feel there are others in greater need but we'll take a hug anytime! If you'd like to send something regardless, my kids created a GoFundMe to help replace their belongings

We can still choose to be kind even when life is cruel ❤️
