About six months ago, a gentleman named Akbar moved next door with his wife and children. Obviously, with his name, I was petrified. After everything that has happened in Madrid, NY and London, I was scared for my family.
So I would not allow my children to be outside without my direct supervision, and often I would end up walking the long way to my car just to not walk by Akbar's place.
Last Monday, he was walking down the sidewalk and caught up to me when I started running. Guess what? It turns out he is a Mormon!!!!! Crazy!
I was so relieved. I seriously thought my family was in serious jeopardy! Now I have a new best friend! I've introduced him into my country club, and have given him a key to our house in case of an emergency. It's also good to have some help in the babysitting department when me and the little woman go to church.
I'm just telling you this story to let you know they aren't all bad.
