As I ruffle trough the pages of the may issue of reader digest, an article caught my eye. This article is called dead of night written by Anita Bartholomew.

At first glance, the first thing that stole my attention was the exquisite and majestic-looking house printed on both the pages of 120 and 121. As I moved my gape away from the eye-catching house, the subheading reads, " what would you do if a drug-crazed thief invaded your home " .

In the dead of night, while the rest of their nighbours were sleeping peacefully like a baby, the Mandziara family had gone through many intense and stressful situations. The scenes appeared as if they were directed by an award-winning director, but the only problem was that they were not from a movie, they were real-life situation where a life could be lost.

Dean Clay Miller Jr who was high on Methamphine,which is known as ice, had stuggled viciously with Robbert, whom latter managed to overcome his opponent and run into the arms of his wife, Ana, safely. That's not the end of the story, Robert jeapourdised his safety by turning back to danger for his two other children. Escaping Miller was not an easy job but this shows that Robbert had placed his family on the top priority, even more than his own life. I admire and idolise him for that. Even before this whole incident, Robbert had promised Ana that he would ensure the safety of the family at whatever situation. They even planned on what to do in case such thing happens. This has taught me to prepare for better or for worse at all time.

Having overcome such incubus, I'm sure the Mandziaras had learnt to treasure one another more and unite the family. Through this life-threatening event, they had also formed an even stronger relationship with their neighbours. Strong bonds and deep love can indeed overcome any obstacle.
