Oh @michele-b thank you for sharing these stories with us, as painful as they were for you to write and for us to read. The great suffering of those who have perished as well as the resilience of those who fight for survival bring tears to my eyes. I pray for you all.
Oh thank you! That brings me to happy tears. We are doing great. Our family..houses are miraculously still standing ashes jndude and out and no doubt smoke damaged. They can be cleaned out, new things can replace anything ruined eventually.
But having a home still standing lifts people up beyond imagining. I kept praying/ imagining their houses surviving even the brother in laws who house was 100% surrounded by the Beachy Fire (many fires together in Lyons/ Detroit/ Mill City canyon towns called all together Canyon River Fire but many individual names
Both bros in laws homes still standing, all their 5 grown kids houses, all their 9 grown grankids houses deemed in safe streets or towns( as far as we have heard)
Smoke is so thick . I am slways the canary in the mind 20 out of 20 categories for high empathy abd i am an empathic energy healer by innate dna from grandmother's in Finland to Alaska pioneering and France to Canada to Cajun area of Louisiana pioneering immigration.
Huge blessing for helping others but ripe to get whatever no matter what i have studied/learned over my decades since high school in the 60s when gifts were activated.
Blessing more than not one.
I know how to help and knew my whole life it was my life mission.
Why i am here on this site though only 2 friends and husband know. Hahahahaha!
Blessings and gratitude to you and all sending love and light. I am stronger for it from all of you.
@michele-b we will help sending light and visualizing the best outcome for all those affected. And for you dear friend love and strength always. Hugs and prayers.
Can't find the link now, but WA and OR wildlife departments are commenting that displaced wildlife will be moving toward towns to escape the fires. This includes birds, deer, elk, coyotes, cougars, bear, and birds. They will be exhausted and need to rest. Keep your pets indoors. And put out a bucket of water for them.
Thank you for updating us.
What beautiful blessings. They are always there if you look for them, and you have found and shared so many. These days will always be remembered by your family members. Your grandchildren, great nephews and nieces will have so much to tell their grandchildren about the Great fire and how it brought everyone to together during the Great Pandemic. How Grandma made sure everyone was cared for with love and compassion. How Grandpa made breakfast which felt like a feast. How everyone gathered in love. How the animals became friends. How grandma was prepared with her canning and all her vegetables and fruit from the garden. How everyone learned what mattered most.
This could be an inspiration for a beautiful children's book!
A young miracle calf was born during a wildfire in California.
The farmer was trying to move some cattle to safety we she came to a charred field of grass and saw a newborn calf.
"She was still covered in afterbirth and the ground was wet from calving. Her eyelashes were burned. I just stared at her in disbelief. I didn’t know what to do, so I just loaded her up on the four wheeler and moved her to safety. It was incredible. I was so worried because her first breath of air was smoke. She was minutes old and a fire burned right over the top of her.”
The calf is doing well.
