My day got off to a really bad start but it had a better outcome. My store was robbed today by 2 men --we were held at gun point, Tied up and left in the store room. A customer came in and found us there and then we called police. It was a 25 minute ordeal that went in slow motion for what seemed hours. And I am very shaken but greatful that no one was hurt. God really watched over us and as the manager they robbers were focused on me, thinking we had a safe full of money-not true. So They got $90 dollars of store money and I gave them the $23 out of my pocket... After poking me with a gun several times and tying me up, they realized I wasnt lying about not having any safe and they left. It is a very humbling experience and really puts things into perspective. So tonight when I got home...I looked at my tiny apartment as if it were my castle, I hugged my family alittle tighter held on alittle longer and the presents not under the tree didnt seem so major anymore.

Wow. How terrifed you must have been, you must still be very shooken up. Sometimes wake up calls get us right where we need to be. Unfortunately yours was horrific. Someone once told me because of surving so many close calls..that must be a old soul and am here to complete something. You must be too. SOO many are not lucky in that case scenerio. What ever you beleive...it was a miracle.

Mine was every bit as exciting, but no where near traumatic. In fact, today was Christmas for me with the woman I love and her daughters. Next year, I hope we get to have the same and more, Christmas Eve and Christmas day. You know, it's exhausting smiling all day long.

Glad that you all were safe, being robbed at gun point is not a thing that will leave you right away. At 18 I was robbed at gun point and Thankful that no one got hurt. To this day I still Thank the Lord for my safety.

I went back to work today-everyone said I was crazy to go back there. But I did it for me. I had to stand up and say you cant steal my security, this is my territory and when I leave here it will be on my terms and not yours. I will not live in fear. When you have lived thru having a gun in your back and up to your face really its all easy after that. THAT was the scary part. So I thank God Im here and Im happy to be able to tell you alll Merry Christmas.

No matter how bad we think we have it at times someone always has it worse... Glad to hear your okay and that you did not let the ordeal get you down... As far as not having the gifts under the tree I feel for you there but at least we have a roof over our head and the love from our kids....
