Some of you might remember that a few months before my wedding, one of my bridesmaids was murdered by her ex, who then shot himself. They left two little boys behind, and they were taken in by her brother. About a year later his house, outside of Boulder, CO, burned to the ground in a huge forest fire. They lost everything except the clothes on their backs.
Perhaps you have heard of the 'High Park' fire outside of Fort Collins, Co? Well, my friend's mom and dad (now divorced, but both living in the area) EACH have had to evacuate their homes because of this fire.
I cannot imagine a universe so cruel as to take away their daughter, then their son's home, and now their homes, but it appears that is what's happening. Their homes are probably gone at this point, full of the only mementos they had left of their daughter since most people had no time to do anything but rush out. Her mother has horses on the property and apparently did have time to get them into the trailer and out, along with her dogs, but she wasn't able to find the cats ![]()
Please send your strongest prayers or vibes to this family to help them have the strength to survive this.
