00:00This is where we would all gather for Christmas, Thanksgiving, birthdays, you know.
00:08Well, this is what's left of the home that I grew up in for 31 years.
00:16We just had Christmas morning right over here.
00:21It's those small family heirlooms that are the ones that really hurt the most.
00:26We can build a new house, you know, but my father told me his grandmother,
00:31so my great-grandmother's wedding ring is somewhere in this pile of ash.
00:37So I'm hoping at some point when I get proper clothing on and safety gear
00:43that I can help my family and see what we can get.
00:50I think we've evacuated twice before maybe in my lifetime,
00:54but I think still you don't really expect your house to burn down, even when it was going.
00:57So, like, I mean, there's a lot of things we wish you would have got.
01:00I told him to grab my memory box, and he told me my room was too messy to find it.
01:04So I didn't get that.
01:05I think people are really, really sad.
01:07Yeah, I mean, it sucks.
01:09But I'm grateful, grateful everybody's okay,
01:12unless it came from a funeral, which I feel like puts us in perspective where you're,
01:16yeah, a bit grateful everyone's okay.
