Hello, WPB friends. I've been away for a couple of weeks, and at the risk of bringing people down, want to vent a bit.
I was away because my youngest DD and her roommate were victims of a violent crime when an intruder forced his way into their apartment very early in the morning.
DD's roommate, who is also her best friend, was beaten and raped while my DD was frantically calling 911 from her bedroom next door, having to listen to what was happening to her dearest friend and then being terrified as he tried to get into her room.
Blessedly, the police arrived in time to catch this horrible person inside their apartment. Our families are now deeply involved in the criminal justice system as the offender is navigating his way through the system.
Fortunately, the US Attorney who is prosecuting the case, and the SAT (think SVU) detectives who are on the case are simply wonderful and have treated both girls with incredible dignity, empathy, and respect.
Anyway, as you can well imagine, it's been the worst couple weeks of my life. And that's going some, because I never did tell you all that my other DD, (the one who was married last July) suffered a life-threatening ruptured ectopic pregnancy in January.
So there you go, WPB friends. I have had limited time on a computer as we've been back and forth to the city where she lives. And....well, we've been pretty busy.
