Yesterday morning, I cherished a charming Spanish villa filled with endless happiness, where I met my husband and raised our son – the only home I’ve ever owned. It was adorned with fruit trees I cultivated myself and a garden of native plants. Now, it’s reduced to ashes. I am devastated 💔 #palisadesfire
