Safe at home

I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in several months. While catching up with each other, I told her about how our house had been broken into in November. She asked how the kids reacted. I told her about how they thought I was going overboard when I stuck the security alarm company's stickers on every window and door. "Mom, aren't you a little paranoid?" they asked. My friend said, "So even when your house is violated and your belongs taken, your children still feel safe."

I never thought about it like that. If that is the case, that they feel safe, I am so grateful.
