“Janice and I lived in our home since 1979. We raised our children and grandchildren here. Every inch of our house was filled with love. Beautiful memories that can’t be taken away.”

This one hit me hard. I wish what Billy said was true, but it isn’t that simple. As we get older, it gets very difficult to remember everything clearly. When people say “a house full of memories”, what they really mean is a “a house full of memory triggers”. Mr. Crystal, his wife, and his children have lost a lot of those triggers to the fire.

I might be silly and sentimental, but this made me genuinely very sad.

    $60 mil net worth. I’m sure he’s not spending the night at the Laquinta like when my neighborhood was on fire.

    I got the last one before realizing a fire fighter that was working the past 16 hours was right behind me and needed a room to rest and start again tomorrow.

      Well, did you share the room with the firefighter?

        Gave him the room, and luckily enough, they found 1 more room for us! Buuuut there were many other civilians behind us who had to try the next hotel.
