Eternally grateful, thank you

To the wonderful people of Canada,

I should have written this sooner but my family and I have only recently gotten settled after the fires that ravaged our community in Los Angeles.

I want to first thank you for being wonderful neighbors… I hold back tears as write this reliving the memory of fires raging towards our home—hurrying my family and the families of my neighbors to safety. I want to thank you for your unsolicited support in our time of need. You came rushing to our aid. Thank you for sending your planes. Thank you for sending your firefighters. Thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and well wishes. My family, myself, and everyone I know are eternally grateful to you all.

I’m not a fan of politics and I’m sorry for what people in power are doing to people in Canada and here at home. I am acutely aware that Americans are not highly thought of at the moment, but I want you to know that you (the people of Canada) will always hold a special place in my heart for everything that you have done and stand for. My family and our home mean everything to me and because you came to save them you mean everything to me—I will always do everything I can in my daily life to honor and repay that. 🙏🏽

Sincerely, Your neighbor in California
