MATI, Greece (AP) — The mother's hand-written note to her young son was left on a Greek beach, framed by a ring of pebbles. It was a parent's promise of future summers spent together as a family on this beach. It spoke of the pride their son felt at impressing his parents with his improving swimming skills. "We'll play in the sea lovingly as a family again," the note ended. It's a heart-rending message to a missing son who's likely among those who drowned seeking refuge in the azure waters off the Greek hamlet of Mati from a raging wildfire that incinerated everything in its path with unfathomable speed.
