Greetings friends and Clan family,
From my house to yours... Merry Christmas.
This has been a year of sorrows for sure. I sure will be glad to see this year end. 2009 has GOT to be better.
I'm fine. I'm angry and a little shaken but even the Grinch can't break me. My house was robbed 2 nights ago while I slept. Ferj and the boys were out of town and I was home alone. In the dark of the night someone came into my home and violated my family. They pooped in my toilet and left it. Carried every present we had into my basement. Unwrapped it all and removed it from it's boxes and carried it away. In return they left me a big mess and some ######.
I was awakend to my eldest son returning home and distraught beating on my bedroom door. He was scared witless and worried about his momma. I thankfully had slept through the entire thing. I had no phones. They turned my land line on so I could not get a dial tone. Had to wait for the battery to die before we could use the house phone. Threw my cell across the room where I could not have reached it either. Took the baby's old PS2 and the eldest Les Paul prize possession. (He bought that guitar himself, was his lifeline. His band was recruited by Victory records this summer. It was beautiful Mahagony..... *Sick*) The $2000.00 worth of stuff under the tree wasn't enough for them I guess.
My co-workers took up a donation and I am off today to try to replace what was taken once again. So Christmas will go on. My eldest spoke to the local news station not that it will help repair the damage done. Police took a report because my son insisted.......
I just want you all to be mindfull. We are comfortable in our homes. Sometimes others are too. Who ever did this knew how to get in. How to get out and knew their way around my home. They had to have been in here for a long time to do what they did...... I've cried for two days over the loss, what might have happened had I gotten up...... It wears on you. Times are hard for everyone and theft is rampant everywhere. I guess it was just my turn this year to be the victim. Double check those doors. Take your cell and keys and wallets/purses to bed with you. I was behind a locked door thankfully. (Always lock my bedroom door when Ferji is gone. <Shudders>). Just think about IF someone were to get in here tonight, what could they take or do easily. How would I protect myself?
Many of you have seen me through a lot of heartache, worry and bad times. You're extended family and I don't want anyone to have to feel like I am feeling right now. In 20 yrs of marriage I have never seen the look on Ferji's face the past two days. I'm proud of my boys. Each of them was not worried about the items they had lost but the items they were giving to others. So I at least taught them well. For that I am grateful.
So Merry Christmas Clan. I mean that with a sincere heart. Be safe. Be well and be aware.
Always,
The Nawtster.
