Part 1: Almost losing a family (things on my head)

I remember the time when I almost lose my family 5 years ago. Back in 2006, it was a rainy night, (May to be specific) I was calling them at the office cause it's already around 8 pm and they're not at home. The line was dead. I don't know what was going on, they don't respond to my text. Then later on my mom called me via her cellphone, telling me that we've been robbed. I was petrified when I heard that. She told me the whole story that some masked robbers went up to our office and point guns on them, telling them to give the money or they will all die. They even pointed a gun to my little brother, and things happened so fast. They got what they want and leave. My family and our employees who was held on that room was traumatized. It was like a nightmare that come true.

My dad told me that money isn't everything, LIFE is. They're thankful that they are alive, that they were spared. Of course the trauma lives on within them, and even for me, who wasn't present on that situation, still, it's hard to think that what might had happened. That's why my brother was like, he's talking and telling he will knock those bad guys out if he's much bigger. I can't blame him, it affected him so much. As for me, I've learned that, it is not easy to cope with things that happened to you unexpectedly, but always remember that if you want to be okay, then you should have the will to be OKAY. Never let it consume you or else you will be on the run.
