Oldest Brother is Alive and Well

[silver_chipmunk]

And that is something I am thankful about. He was attacked in his security booth last night and pistol-whipped, hit over the head, tied up and held at gunpoint. He lost his wallet, his car keys (but not, thank God, the car) and whatever they could get out of his bank account with his debit card (though that he should get back from the bank.) But aside from bruises and scrapes he is OK.

Words can not express my gratitude that he is OK.

Special thanks go to The Kid and SIL and to mashfanficchick's mother for taking care of him and driving him around this morning.

Gratitude List:

1. He's alive and well.

2. The Kid.

3. The SIL.

4. mashfanficchick's mother. Especially since mashfanficchick has been sick for several days.

5. The FWiB.

6. A quiet day at work so I didn't have to deal with this and tumult as well.

Oh good heavens, Silver! I'm glad the bro is okay! That is scary stuff.

Yeah, it was pretty nasty, but he's OK.

Thank goodness he's alright. Does he think he'll go back to that job? Any leads on the suspect?

Thanks. It's a gang that's been doing this at construction sites around Queens apparently. They hope that maybe they can get pics from the video cameras from the bank where they used his debit card, but we don't know. He has gone back to the job, they are being very supportive.

Holy shit! How awful, and terrifying, for him! So glad he's ok.

Yeah, it was pretty bad. Thanks.
