Ashes

Coming home from Thailand to a burning city was not what we were expecting much less Dan having no home to come home to. I was amazing with how well he held things together after learning his house was demolished in the fires. Talk about being helpless.
Saturday a group of us went up to his house and his neighbor's houses to help sort through the ashes for possible memories. Katie puts it best here.
And still he was alight with laughter- so much so that we could here him when he arrived at his house (we were at the neighbor's site). He actually said, "All you can do is laugh at this point" as he stared down at the rubble.

It's amazing what people are able to overcome in the midst of tragedy. I'm glad I decided to come . . .
