It has been a scary week for everyone in San Diego. I cannot imagine what must go through the minds of the people who lost their homes and had to evacuate. I have not been personally affected by the fire, but I did have a friend who lives in Chula Vista and was very scared for her since the fire was so close to her home. I have to say a thousand “thank you” to our great firefighters and emergency responders, they did an outstanding job! I’m from Washington State and I’ve never seen a wildfire like this….it rains too much! I am very impressed with the people in San Diego, the volunteers, and the outpouring donations and just the kindness that this tragedy brought out. It definitely tells people not from this city that San Diegans rally together to take care of each other when tragedy strikes! The community just came together and helped those in need! People’s kindness still exists; it’s there, although I think in our every day “busy” lives we forget the act of kindness, we forget to be kind to each other.
I hope that everyone remained safe and with family through this devastating event. Watching the fire on television since Sunday, it is humbling to see what Mother Nature can do to us even with the power and technology that our country possesses. I’m hugging my daughter and my husband just a little bit more each day after this fire. My hope is that we don’t forget to help those people who are still struggling to put what is left together from this tragedy. My husband and I decided to donate money to the Red Cross; this is the only way we feel that we can help even if it is just a little bit.
Stay safe, be kind, and be hopeful, we live in a great and beautiful city!
