00:00When the lights go out, it inevitably makes you realize you take them for granted most of the time.
00:27Like so much of life that, of course, is never guaranteed, but seems immutable.
00:34Like when I lost Jack, and it felt like things would never be the same ever again.
00:40But eventually, I found my way back to a different, but just as meaningful normal.
00:47And then came little Jack's diagnosis last fall.
00:51At first, it felt too big to ever overcome.
00:57But at some point, you have to look up, take in the new landscape, and begin to accept that although it has indeed changed forever, something beautiful can still rise from the ashes.
01:15The fire was a far-reaching tragedy, and I don't think any of us can quite yet comprehend all that's changed.
01:22The flames cruelly stole from so many not only their past, but the future as well.
01:32We will rebuild, but first we have to mourn.
