Good Vibes and thoughts after yesterday

I hope everyone is safe today!!!!! Worried and thinking about everyone near and far.

I know I don't come on this board much but I felt like I wanted to send out some good vibes and thoughts today-- there have been many local heros and its great to focus on those stories at a time like this.

  What a horrible day yesterday was and today is worse I feel like, learning about all the heartache. My husband and I had plans to go with friends to the marathon yesterday, but because I just gave my notice at my job, I told my boss i would come in, so my husband stayed home as well.

Our friends are luckily fine, they were in a bar a block away and were all ushered out the back door. We got in touch with them via facebook (cell phone towers were turned off to avoid cells detinating a bomb) and they were fine, but it took them hours to make it home and they said it was extreme chaos leaving the bar and they were afraid people would be trampled.

Hearing that an 8 yr old boy lost his life-- i broke down. I guess I can't get my head around the fact that you can't even GO out to support a fun/good cause or go to a sporting event without the risk of losing your limb or your life. If you can't even enjoy watching runners and peole come together from all communities and states and towns, what can you enjoy?

  • What a horrible tragedy.  I'm glad you and your friends are okay.  I'm reading a lot of stories of people rushing to help those injured and it's so inspiring to hear that in the midst of evil there is so much compassion, generosity and love.&nbs
