An incredibly unfortunate situation - a family’s home in my dad’s neighborhood was struck by lightning not too long ago. Completely destroyed. Nothing left to salvage.

I passed by it yesterday and happened to have my Leica with me. The family obviously isn’t living there anymore, and the front door was slightly ajar. I pushed it open, curious to see inside. The first thing that caught my eye was this one detail - a sign still hanging on the wall that read “Simply Blessed.”

Ironic, but also deeply sad.
