One of the after effects of a robbery while you are in the house is the realisation that you are really really vulnerable.... a feeling that many would share on seeing the tsunami on tv..... its like you can try and be whoever you want to be but at the end of the day nature and a higher power control who you are....

While I lost money, the most precious possession of mine - physical safety was protected... it had to be someone smiling down on me to protect when the robbers were rummaging through my stuff in the bedroom.... and to think if I had just got up and seen the robber.... it gives me shivers still....

for days on end I could not sleep peacefully.......and I probably will not be able to sleep peacefully for a long long time....
