Difficult things happen to people sometimes and you just aren't sure what to say or how to help. We have a family that sends their kids to school who actually lives two hours from here. They had rented a house in town a year ago so that their kids wouldn't have to drive back and forth. Just this week sometime their house was broken into. Everything was taken---the curtains, the iron, everything---the thieves even took the compressor out of the refrigerator. I am reminded of the Grinch and how he took everything and left a crumb too small for a mouse. That's a cartoonish thought that brings a whimsical smile. But, when I talked to this mother tonight who had everything stolen, there was no whimsical smile. There was physical pain as she complained that her stomach hurt. I understood completely, for her family was violated and everything was lost. I am not sure how they will recover but it will take time. I hope our community can help.
It's sad and it's painful...
