Alex's Worst Day Ever

My mom Leslie and her husband Alex went to the basketball courts of a college to see a game the other day. It wasn’t until they got home that they realized someone had broken into Alex’s car and stolen his computer and tablet. That same day was father’s day and it was also the day Alex got fired from his job. To top it off, Alex and my mom had a long trip planned for the next morning and they would have to stop in the middle to rest. There was no way they could have driven the car with a window broken because the place where they would stop to rest was not the safest, and it’s been rainy lately too. We had to call a 24 hour emergency locksmith to aid us.

Luckily the locksmith guys were able to come right away to help us replace the broken piece of glass the
same night the car break-in happened. Unfortunately, since my mom and her husband had stayed up until late at night they could not leave the house as early as they wanted to. The point of leaving early was so that they could drive during the day light most of the trip. The total trip takes about 12 hours total and because it is winter time they wanted to drive during the day so they could have more visibility on the road.

At the very least, my mom and Alex had a great time being away from home and the rest of us. They rarely have the chance to be on their own on a fun adventure. As soon as they arrived at their destination town they called us to notify they were ok. They bought a postcard for the emergency locksmith guys to thank them for having helped so efficiently and during such a difficult time.
