Well, you won't be seeing pictures on the blog for quite awhile.
Last night Andey and I took sweet, wonderful Lars swimming at the YMCA. We left our big bag that had our clothes, Andey's phone, my wallet and my camera in the family locker room. We had a great time, got home and put a tired boy to bed. I got into the bag to realize that the phone, camera, and wallet were gone. Intense sadness. Not over the material things, but over the fact that someone did this. Maybe it was out of serious need, but I doubt it. I would have given them the clothes off my back if that was the case.
It has put me in a very sad place. (thankfully I am seeing my therapist later!) Sadness about our world and those who are in it. Sadness for the photos on the camera that I will never see, for the tiny strips of paper that had deep sentimental value that i always carried in my wallet, sadness that I try so hard to help those I love and strangers, but things like this still happen. It's quite a blow. However, I have wonderful friends who totally kicked in and helped me process everything last night. I love you both, thanks.
I hope that the people that are now the owners of our things are enjoying them and that they sometime realize the pain that they have caused. But they have my total forgiveness.

Sorry for your multiple losses. Being very Zen about the entire experience, does the one creating the pain ever really give thought to the result their actions have on others? Have come to realize those who create pain seem to focus on only themselves and their own immediate needs.
I'm so very sorry this happened.
I also want to acknowledge that months before this happened, you had a back-up digital camera that you generously donated to the Mercy Centre & that you could sure use right now. Rest assured that it gets checked out to different students and staff members every single day, and everyone who uses it loves it.
