Oh my goodness Dotsie, your poor neighbor. I often think of my elderly Mom when I hear stories like that. It worries me so. Imagine what they might have done to her if they got in? Even just pushing her could have been tragic. I assume she is changing the door so that there is no longer glass to be broken and new locks as well...I hope so.
We had a tragedy happen 2 weeks ago in about a mile from my home. Actually, we had 3 tragedies. All were teenagers: one died in a drowning accident, another in a high speed auto accident and the third was a girl murdered in a stabbing incident by another girl over a boyfriend. The kids all went to the same local high school and within 3 weeks, 3 died. The murder was something we never, ever see here. People are petrified although most know it was an isolated incident. It just seems it is so much harder growing up these days. I pray for all our children and grandchildren.
