On Thursday (Yesterday, Jan 14th) about 4:30 pm one of my roommates called and told me that our house had been broken into. My initial reaction was disbelief. Then she confirmed that her laptop, Wii and the other laptops in the house were gone.
We were upset and mad.
Emma called the police. They came and dusted for finger prints. They lied. They told us that the powder would come up with soap and water and out of the carpet with a quick vacuum...it didn't. Ask the back door...it's still feeling a little black even though we've washed it several times. Maybe the officers haven't had to clean up after themselves before....
Despite how we felt then and since, good things have come out of this experience.
First, Life goes one. Yes it was frustrating and even scary, but we survived and life goes on.
Second, and probably most important, was seeing how much people reached out and help us in any way they could. We are so loved and have amazing friends. Tragedy, no matter how small, can bring out the best in people. Let's focus on that.
(After the break-in and the cops had left...calling family and talking. Can you say bonding expereince?)
