“Two months ago my house burned down,” Scorsone said in the lengthy commentary. “While getting my kids ready for bed and finishing their bath time, smoke started seeping through the grout around the bathtub. When I looked down the hallway, a river of thick black smoke had already formed and was filling the house.”

Scorsone shares three daughters with ex-husband, musician and writer Rob Giles, 49, who is 49. absolute In 2020: Eliza, 10, Paloma “Pippa” Michaela, 6, and Arwin “Lucky” Lucinda, 3.

“One thing about fires: They happen fast. I had about two minutes to get my three kids out of the house, and we got away with less than a shoe on our feet. But we got out. And for that I’m forever grateful.”

“Heartbreakingly, we lost all 4 of our pets. We are still going through this loss, but we are lucky to have loved them at all.”

Scorsone continued her “love letter” to thank the community of people who helped her when the devastation struck, including her neighbor, parents at her children’s school, firefighters, and detectives, as well as her “friends” on “Grey’s Anatomy” and Shonda Rhimes’ production company, Shondaland, creator of the series. .

“What we’ve learned is that the only thing that matters is the people (and beings) you love. The only thing that matters is community. We wouldn’t be here without her and we’re so grateful. Thank you.”

Scorsone concluded, “Here are some images to honor the space we once called home, to say goodbye to the animals that loved us so well, and to celebrate that we have the one thing we really need: each other.”
