May or may not be any running to report today, but I needed to post anyway. We had Tyler's birthday gathering last night at Larry's Pizza in west Little Rock, just family and friends. No cake or singing Happy Birthday or any of that, just quiet. Afterward, I left to drive back here, he made plans to go out with his friends. I got home around 9, was asleep by 11.
At 11:30, the phone rang. It was Tyler, and he was shaken. He and CJ had gone to Sean's apartment. When they left the apartment some time around 11, there was a guy outside with a gun. Took Sean's cellphone, Tyler's wallet, ID and cash; not sure if anything else taken. T was obviously very rattled and upset, and I quickly joined him. He had not talked to the police at that point; they arrived soon. Some people nearby saw the incident and thought they knew the robber, but to my knowledge, no one has been caught.
T then texted me at 4 a.m. that he couldn't sleep because his mind wouldn't shut down. I can believe that. I can't imagine being held up at gunpoint, and I'm just thankful the guy didn't panic and start shooting.
I didn't sleep very well either, even though I was exhausted after a very long day. Before I went back to bed, I'd talked to Pam a couple of times, called the bank to cancel his debit card, and tried to figure out how T can get on the flight to go see Pam Monday without an ID (also stolen). He can do it, but he'd better get to the airport really, really early.
I may or may not go to MAFC and run later. At this moment, running doesn't seem all that important. |
