The kids came home from their cousins' house late tonight...The littles went right to sleep.
Soon, Evan asked why was I messing with our house?? Why was the TV different??...Why were the locks changed? Where were the I-Pads that he needed to finish his project?
And...where was his I-Pod with all his favorite music??
Evan has been through a lot. In the past two years I have tried to make a stable life for him.
Now, a robbery.
I told him that I left the door open when I went for an errand and someone came in.
We tried to celebrate that it was only things...and we were ok.
But, Evan is over tired and very sad and he is crying in his bedroom
Then...Facebook...here...shows me a picture of five years ago.
My man in France visiting his brother...Just five years later...no dear man at all.

No use my crying too...Better read my book before the library wants it back.
I realize that none of this matters.
With my Dear Man gone...nothing...

You & your Evan, you've both been through so much. You have more tools in your belt for dealing, Evan, not so many. And you try to protect the dear lad from more hurt. It is just things, but burglary is such a violation (been there), made worse when is was done by a loved one.
All the O'Quilts are in my heart. I wish I could do more.
How much longer is Emily away?
We are going to get through these Holidays no matter what is thrown at us! The sad thing is that someday Evan will know it was most likely his Dad...then he'll have anger to deal with but he has you and he'll get through that too.
I don't say too much. I have a hard time sharing but the past few months have been hell on earth. My youngest son who is an over the road truck driver went home without calling his wife and telling her. His side of the bed was filled with some guy when he arrived in the middle of the night...a few days later the wheel come off his new car and almost killed him and to top that off while making a delivery he was attacked and stabbed an inch away from his heart.
They told me to not have any stress and I might be able to pull some extra time...but I've never had a stress free life. We just have to do the best we can...and a good cry helps sometimes!
I am sorry, Diane. The stress of burglary is not good for both of you. There are new locks at Lowes that are controlled by your cell phone. If you leave without locking the door, you can lock it remotely. Whatever helps.

Poor Evan, my heart aches for him. X
Thinking of you.......
Sending you all love and hugs..
I was so sad to ready about this, but I'm also encouraged by your understanding that it is only things.
Take care
