You are a kind-hearted, compassionate lady, leyash. And living so close to all this, I can understand why you might have more compassion than those of us who are further away and not impacted by what has been occurring in your neighborhood. All the what ifs may start creeping into your thoughts, too. You be sure to take care of yourself, and pull away if you need, or share your thoughts with us if it helps. I suspect it is a form of PTSD, but that's just my guess. If it overwhelms you too much, you may want to talk to a therapist a few times.
Thank you for sharing the photo. It does reinforce the reality in a way news articles cant. To actually feel our friends hurting because of this ... I wish I culd wrap you in a big hug. :grouphug:
