Friday River Launch
October 14, 2019
What Matters Most
I spent most of the day on Friday thinking about my friend and colleague from West Ranch, Leana, who lost her home. All of the work she put into making her home a beautiful, safe place for her family, is gone. When I contacted her to offer support, she seemed better than I thought she would be-I think an experience like that helps one realize what's most important. My heart breaks for her and her family. I'm sure sorrow and grief will be painful parts of the journey for the next few years as they rebuild their lives. I am thankful Leana, her husband and her young children are well. We know that people matter most, and that most material things can be replaced.
