So it’s been a rather dramatic weekend.
Things are still a bit chaotic here so I’ll save the long story for when I can tell it with all it’s gory and amusing details.
Short story is:
We still have 16 people living in the house.
We enjoyed an awesome family reunion with 50+ other relatives in a nearby town.
Came home to find our house completely ransacked and robbed. Lost all our computers and all the guitars in the house. All Papa’s prescription meds. My jewelry box was floating in the toilet…empty.
Oh my dear it was a sight.
We have rallied today to try to get our wits about us. But there have been moments.
All feeling a bit vulnerable.
And I’ve been so sad. So sad that my kids feel scared. So sad for the people who find themselves so wounded that this is how they fill their days.
Don’t they know it’s so much more fun to be kind? And respectful. And generous.
I wish they did.
And we’ll recover here.
Oh NO!!!!!!!!!!! I am SO sorry. You must be shocked and feeling SO violated! I SO agree with you about your coments… why would anyone find that action OK??!! Praying for you all…
Oh my goodness. I don’t even know what to say. I’m so sorry.
But I do have no doubt you will recover. And be able to do it with the kind of grace that you have handled every other adventure in your life.
Hang in there!
Oh I’m so sorry. I’ve been there. When I was 17 our house was robbed and ransacked. It was a terrible feeling. My mom walked in on the robbers while the robbery was in progress which made it even worse. We lost some things that were precious to us. I know how traumatic it is, so I’ll be praying for you guys big time!!!!
I am so very sorry that you have to do through this. My family is praying for you and your family.
Jody,
So sorry. It makes me sad to think how vulnerable it might make your kids feel. Praying for God to calm their fears and even bring back some of their special things that were taken.
So glad you were not home and no one was hurt! Praying for your family!
That makes me angry and sad for the people who did that and Rey sad for you and your family. My friend and I were just saying today that if everyone would treat each other as nicely as people great pregnant women (both of us having been in that category not too long ago and having evidence the recipients of special kindnesses) what a delightful world it would be to live in. It makes me sad that those people clearly chose such ugly and unkind actions. Kelly
Oh my, so sorry that you and your family had to go through that, Jody. I can’t imagine how violated and vulnerable that would make you feel. And, just sad. I’m sad for you.
