Midday Nightmare

Hi Jack, as I said to MLK, it was so unbelievable, we drove into our driveway and the next thing i heard my husband say is we are been hijacked, do as they say, and then a gun was at each one of our heads! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Hi MLK and every word of it is true! God kept me calm, I thought I was in a movie and it was happening to someone else - still think of it and cringe! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Hi Dear Heart Hope you are well - thank you for your congratulations. I must say that typing it out I cried more than on the day it in fact happened - seeing it typed and completed in front of me somehow bought out stronger emotions. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Hi Panagiota, It sounds far worse than it is, we have all learnt to live in this way. However we still got zapped in the poem I wrote for Dear Hearts contest, we just have to constantly be alert, otherwise it is a beautiful country. Poetry hugs, Jenny.

Thank-you dear Anne-Lise. And thank-you for your heartfelt comment below. Poetry hugs, Jenny

You are right Rico, survival is optional, but unfortunately my parents (and i was in the family business) never wanted to sell and leave SA - and then my husband says it is too late to move, but i still have the sense of adventure in me and am willing for us to take the chance of leaving - I am looking at the program tiny homes and would love us to have a comfortable RV and stay in one continent and travel in it from N to S and E to W, instead of just living a day to day uncertain life as to what will happen. Yasou and Poetry hugs, Jenny

Hi Janice, the worst exp. in my life, and as I have told everyone else it was only after I wrote about it, that the incident happened in my mind all over again and I broke down and cried. Thank-you Janice. Poetry hugs, Jenny.

Hi Heidi, It did me good to write about it Heidi, It was only today after three years that I broke down and cried. Thank-you for your kind comment. Poetry hugs, Jenny.

Hi Lindsay, this happened three years ago Lindsay, and I never really cried about it until today now, when i am writing my replies to my friends. Maybe this contest was meant for me as i had to write the incident down and discuss it with others. Poetry hugs, Jenny

Hi Line, People tell me I am strong as did my psychologist that we went to for counseling, But it was God that gave me that strength, if I were to tell you the all that happened in my life, I could write a book. Poetry hugs, Jenny.

Anne-Lise, I don't wish this on my worst enemy (although I haven't got one) - I was terrified but thanks to our Dear God, he kept me so calm i couldn't grasp the reality of it all. This happened at twenty to four in broad daylight with heavy traffic outside our home. I'm glad you and others are safe where you are. Be well and safe dear soul sister. Poetry hugs, Jenny

It was horrible Tom, my husband just had enough time to say to me, just listen to them, and then their guns appeared. It was the most scary time of my life, but God helped us and kept us calm and they didn't kill us. Poetry hugs, Jenny
