I have a flaw, and I do believe it has to be the worst possible flaw to have! For some reason I see the best in people, and give them the benefit of the doubt and I feel so stupid. I had a woman come to my yardsale today, noticing obviously that she was covered in sores all over, but I overlooked that and didnt think twice about being polite and kind to her just as I would anyone else. While she shopped we had conversation about Gage and I told her his story and she told me she had a small child as well. As we talked I was still putting things on the tables, I had my phone in back pocket but I had to take it out for a second and laid it back on the table. It wasnt but a minute later that we realized my phone was gone, I thought maybe it had gotten put in a bag she purchased so I went to her as she was getting in her vehicle and asked her to look through the bag, she did as I watched and she said it wasnt there. We called it several times, all the while I insisted I had just misplaced it but I finally come to the harsh conclusion that she had stolen my phone. We called it and left voicemails and text messages explaining the importance of getting it back because it has all of gages heart surgeons information and irreplaceable pictures and stuff on it but no response. I went to at&t and they said they couldnt track it so they suspended the service. I went back to my yardsale, I had to cancel my credit card because I had one of those that attaches to your phone and then I called the police department and reported the theft. At this point I was just sick to my stomach, I HATE that feeling. I HATE the fact that people arent honest anymore. Why do people have to be that way? It just makes me cry when I think about how carefree I grew up and how things are today. We didnt lock our doors and we didnt have to put chains/locks on everything we own. As I told her I was raising money to pay for my sons heart surgery she was stealing from me! Why am I so shocked? Why do I feel so stupid, I shouldnt be suprised. Im sad to say that I wont make this mistake again. However, for some reason, the man that was driving this woman around returned my phone a couple hours later and said he was sorry but he found it in the bottom of the bag she bought from me. I told him how very grateful I was that he had returned it and God Bless him for doing so and he left just before the police arrived to file the report. Even though it all turned out to be ok, this was such a terrible experience, like I dont have enough going on around me already. Anyway, this is my rant for today. Im not gonna let it get me down though, I will be having my yardsale again tomorrow and I pray it will be a better day.
