Thanks for sharing your story, Steve. Could you share the link to the GoFundMe here? Instagram won't show me the link you shared for some reason. I'm so sorry for your loss and I hope that you're getting lots of love and support from your friends and family.
A lovely and deeply touching piece of writing about such a terrible tragedy. I immediately thought of a Jason Isbell song ("It Gets Easier") while reading the part about the vodka sauce and thought how beautifully you articulated and dealt with the challenge. Wishing you and your family the best, Steve.
Man, I am really sorry to see this. Glad you all are safe, and hope you are holding up as well as can be expected. The four of us are pulling for you from out here!
Oh my goodness, Steve. I am so very sorry to hear this. These fires are so heartbreaking to watch from out here in the Midwest. I'll be thinking about you and your family. You'll probably need to use those tools for sobriety more often for an extended period. Rooting for you.
My best to you and your family, Steve.
Thank so much, Joe.
I'm so sorry, Steve. Big hugs to you and yours.
Thank you, Dan. 🙏
Stay strong. You and yours will get through this.
Thank you. 🙏🏻 We’re definitely trying.
I appreciate this post so much, Steve. You and my family are on my mind quite a lot these days. Sending you love and strength.
Thanks, Holly. It’s a lot, but we’ll be fine thanks to the support of friends like you.
That was supposed to be “your” family, not “my.”
You and I are part of the crime writing family. Still works.

Thanks. I thought I had linked above, but it somehow leads to the GoFundMe homepage. Fixed now, or here's the direct link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-our-friend-steve-coulter-rebuild-after-la-wildfires
Take a break from the crying for a few...after reading this, I got you covered for a bit.

Thanks, Glenn. I’m sure you know how much I love Jason Isbell.
Dude, I am so sorry.
Thank you! 🙏
Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece of writing and vulnerability. Hope you can feel the love surrounding you and your family.
Thank you! 🙏 The support and love have been so beautiful and totally overwhelming.
Oh, Steve, I am so sorry this happened to you and your family. And also so inspired by your story. You are truly an inspiration.
I hope your daughter can refind that recipe and you can make it together again!
Thank you! 🙏 Nothing will stop us all from cooking together.

Thanks, Kevin 🙏
Much love to you and your family, Steve.
Thanks, Jim. 🙏
I’m glad you’re all safe.
Thank you! 🙏
Shocking news, I'm so sorry you've lost your home, Steve. With you on sobriety (16 years), the toolbox keeps expanding. At least that's a win.
I’m around the same, in terms of time. Congratulations!
It’s funny how that urge always seems to be in there, lying in wait for when I’m weak. So thankful for the expanding toolbox and support.
I am so very sorry, Steve. This is a beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing and all the best to you and your family, my friend.
Thanks, Matty! 🙏

Appreciate the support! 🙏 Lucky to have a good toolbox and local friends/family to rely on.
