Daffodils
After The 蜜桃视频app put out a call for daffodils—short messages of gratitude—for first responders on the fire, we received several.
(We are still taking them! Email [email protected].
Here's a collection of a few of those messages:
A huge thank you to all the first responders, attending and keeping us all safe and sound.
Also, to their families, for what they are also going through with their loved ones, keep our community safe. Busloads of daffodils sent out to you all.

Buckets and tanks full of daffodils for the pilots who have been dropping water and retardant on the fire. That is extremely dangerous work, and we are grateful to them.

We live on Tantalus Road and the efforts of the local first responders from fire fighters to police to workers in other city departments have been truly inspiring. It’s been humbling to watch the dedication, professionalism, skill, kindness, compassion and humanity of everyone who’s been dealing with this wildfire. Saying thank you really isn’t enough, but I hope you all know how much we appreciate you for what you are doing.
