On Saturday, I had to file a police report for some missing jewelry. Not just a couple of pieces, a lot and most of them treasured. My grandmother's wedding band. Another grandmother's diamond band. The pearl ring I wore when I got married. The sapphire & diamond earrings, pendant, and ring that David surprised me with several years ago. A garnet family ring. And much, much more.
The worst part about the whole ordeal is that we believe it was someone that we knew, that we invited into our home, and someone we trusted. Unfortunately, this is a rather long list since we have entertained lots of family and friends the last couple weeks. We don't know who did it, and I don't care who did it. I just want my family heirlooms safely returned.
I am feeling violated, heartbroken, angry and confused. Never in my wildest dreams would I think that someone I am close to would do this to me. Never in my wildest dreams would I imagine that someone would steal from me, while I was in another room. Maybe I am naive, maybe I am too nice. I want to be the trusted friend, with an open heart and a warm smile. But that was taken too.
Although, it would be a FELONY for the person that did this, I don't want them prosecuted. I want them to get help. I have been praying for this person to do the right thing. And Santa, I don't have much on my list for this year, other than the safe return of my jewelry.
oh karen, i'm so sorry. i know how violated i felt when our house was broken into, but it wasn't anyone we knew, i think it makes it even more awful for someone you know to do this to you
ReplyDeleteI'm petitioning the universe for the person to have a realization of what REALLY BAD KARMA that is, to take not only treasured sentimental stuff, but to take it from someone who trusted them and invited them into her home.
ReplyDeleteI bet everyone everywhere will sign my petition. Mucho love.
