Zibby! I relate to your story; so filled with love and heartbreak. As a 30-year Angeleno, I only moved from our dream life and home in Los Angeles in 2020 because the many threats of fire (seen from our windows) had me in a near-constant state of panic. I could never turn my phone off at night, even though the winds would often come too fast in our area for alerts. I’d go to bed wondering, praying I’d have enough time to save the dogs and horses. It still makes me cry thinking of it—and all of my dear friends who’ve lost everything. My sister still lives there, in a home filled with our late parent’s things. Things like you’re experiencing are one of a kind, irreplaceable, and forever in our hearts. I pray they’re spared. Oh, goodness. Big love to you, Zibby. You do so much for so many, and my heart and prayers are always with you, your beautiful store, and your family. xoxo

You are absolutely allowed to feel all this. You and your family made a life there. You described so well the loss because of all the daily living people have in that place, gone in a matter of minutes. I am so sorry for your heartbreak and for all the people there
