Paradise, California + the surrounding areas in Butte County

Sending ♥️💛🩵 to all the survivors
their families
+ all the first responders, firefighters, medical personnel + animal wranglers + neighbors + strangers who helped us make it through that horror
Respect to Jamie Lee Curtiss production company for believing this story was worth retelling: The Lost Bus
The film is available via Apple TV
The book: Lizzie Johnsons Paradise: One Towns Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire is a worthy read.
For those who did not survive you are not forgotten we remain 💔💔💔

(2,272 posts)I went back w/ my daughter a few months ago to view the trees we had had planted at Bille Park, replacing the ones we had planted for parents, kids + grandkids that were lost in the fire
The creek still runs through the property + someone had put a new post up w/ the street sign that had survived that had been hand carved by our neighbor
The many losses still hurt
but the trees are healing
The stones my dad tuned in the creek for my mom still tinkle melodiously
We dropped some keys in town for the Paradise Phoenix sculpture
