Last night, while Hsuan was in Las Vegas for a meeting, W was volunteering at a hospital, and I was at a Boy Scout event, J was a victim at home alone of a home invasion armed robbery.
He’s very smart, and he survived unharmed. The robbers ransacked the house until they found our safe, which they had a hell of a hard time breaking into. J called me after they robbers left, and I left for home at once, after stupidly telling him I’d call 911 when I got home when he asked if he should call 911. Soon after, I thought “What was I thinking?” and tried calling him back to tell him to call 911, but I couldn’t get through. Luckily, the reason I couldn’t get through was that he was smart enough to ignore my advice, and he was calling 911 anyway. By the time I arrived home, about half a dozen or more police vehicles surrounded our house, and SWAT team members were securing the property, weapons out and ready. J was waiting on the sidewalk, talking to the police.
I may write more later, but it may be a very long time, if ever, before I feel like writing more. Our loss of property was inconsequential. I’m just relieved J is safe.
