When firemen die fighting a fire it's always tragic but, if you live in the East, it's a tragedy that seems very distant. Usually.
Hania's cousin's son lives in Prescott, Arizona, with his wife and two small children. At Christmas and Easter, Alexandra, the 10-year-old daughter, sends us handmade greeting cards. This week we received a Happy 4th of July card from her, done in exuberant red and blue crayon. Even though the family was never under any threat from the fire, the card seemed like a sign that the 19 firefighters hadn't died in vain.
