“This is the most valuable thing I own. It is a folder of my father’s photos, spanning his life from when he was a child, teacher, husband, and father. It is the only evidence of his life that will exist over time,” Mayer wrote in the lengthy caption of the post. These are the “documents” I read about people taking them from their homes. When you hear someone say they lost everything in a fire, that's pretty much, if not all, everything.
“Those who say they will be okay still have their folders and albums,” Mayer continued. “Those who are inconsolable have lost them. Behind the terrible loss of life lies the loss of the evidence of life.”

It's the pictures, the letters, the separation rings, the glasses, the things we keep to remind us that those we loved were here,” Mayer added. “I hope those people find it.” Who have lost a lot of hope and support from their families and friends. Stay safe, take care of yourselves and each other, and trust that humanity and all that it entails, as hard as it is to see at times, is still alive and well. “This is truly devastating.”
