My Brother Saves Lives

All during the past 10 days or so, the news has been talking about the fires in California. I have friends and family who live in SoCal, so I was really worried. Thank goodness that my BFF B. and my sister and her husband are OK.

My brother lives north of San Diego, where it seemed to be really bad. Yet, recently, he accepted a job working for the Civilian Defense. He called me last night to tell me about his experiences. He was amazing! He was part of the team that coordinated the firefighter and rescue efforts. He told me about trying to manage the teams to protect lives and property. Then, he told me about the efforts to help animals as well.

I could not be more proud to have my brother as a brother. Whatever the news says, I don't care, because the news always seems to focus on what went wrong. I'm just so happy that my family and friends are OK, and really, I'm even more happy that my brother was able to save lives, properties, and animals.
