Last night, walking to my parents house from the metrolink station, my entire family and some poor kid from Austria were attacked by a mob of 40 black teenagers. We got beat up pretty bad. I have a bruised eye and a burst blood vessel and broken glasses. But Phil got it the worst. His face was beat to shit, and now it looks like he might have to have surgery to fix it. Mom, Dad, Abby, and Helen all got hit in the head and knocked over, but don’t have any external wounds to show for it.
This was a pretty horrible experience, and since I’m still right in the middle of it, I can’t really articulate my feelings properly. I’m scared, and feel vulnerable, and sick, and all sorts of bad feelings right now.
I don’t necessarily believe in prayer, but if you do, maybe send one out for my family, and especially Phil right now. We need all the help we can get.

I have no words for it….
This is sheer horror.
Thinking of you all!!!
Holy Crap. Is there something we can do? Please call me. Let me know. Please. We’ll do whatever you need us to do.
I cant begin to imagine what you are all going through. My heart goes out to you.
OMG! How on earth does this sort of things happen? I mean HOW do a group of people go out and think that this sort of thing is OK to do.
I will be thinking of your family.
Nathan, your mom just messaged me about this. I do believe in prayer and I’m sending out a bunch for all of you! This is simply terrifying.
I just read about your experience in Ange’s blog (I’m a little behind in my catching up) Just in case someone listens to my prayers, I am saying one right now in hopes you will get through this not only physically but mentally as well.
