Maybe I should wait the extra day before writing a year-in-review post because, as I've learned the past 2 months in particular, your entire world can be turned upside down in a day. A second.
But. I'm wide awake now. And I need an outlet. I'm so stressed I've hardly been able to sleep. Our home was burglarized 2 days ago (my poor stepfather discovered it after driving 12 hours home from visiting Debbie, his daughter, who is dying. Ugh.) I just...I'm at a loss. They took everything. I mean...EVERYTHING. Even our paper towels, bath products, half chewed dog toys (wtf?!) in addition to $5,000 in tools from his garage workshop. All the electronics. Rugs. Clothes. Shoes. Everything.
I'm honestly surprised they didn't attempt to take sinks, switch plates and light fixtures, that's basically all that's left.
And now my mom is driving the 12 hours to get there to help him clean up and jot down any other missing items for insurance. It's 2 pages long so far.
They're both at their breaking point, more so for him, understandably. I'm so worried for their safety and their health right now, it nearly overshadows the absolute fury I feel toward the maggots who did this.
Please, please, let 2012 be better for us.
