What was supposed to be a casual play date with a friend turned into a life-or-death situation Tuesday:
A West Seattle mom with two kids, trapped inside a burning car on a busy downtown street.
On Thursday, the family laughed and giggled in their friend’s living room. It’s those moments that mean the most to the Melake Family, with 3-year-old Aliana and 19-month-old Jaiden at the center of their world. “Little by little you’ll feel better,” sings the Melake family.
Taking a break from the laughter, the Melake family took time to recall their nightmare.
