How dare the New York Times write about a thing that’s not the worst thing. They should be trying to interview a person who lost their entire family and will speak to the press for the eleventh time.
On Friday, Elicia Stratton searched desperately through the wreckage of her Lahaina home for the Rolex watch her parents gave her when she graduated college.
Suddenly, her fiancé pulled it from the ashes. “You found it!” she said, choking up. It was damaged but still legible.
