As the world knows, yesterday at the Boston Marathon, 2 bombs went off. The death toll is 3, and the injured is around 152 (as of now).
I had a 2nd cousin running this year, she was 1/4 of a mile from the finish as a bomb went off, fortunately she was farther back and was rerouted and didn't know the full extent of the chaos.
I know Boston, I was just at Red Sox opening day. Boston is too close to home to have chaos like this going on. Mind you, NYC and 9/11 was too close for comfort too, but I was in 2nd grade, i remember the day clearly but I was too young to comprehend how frightening it truly was (and remember a lot because of that).
I don't know why someone would do this, but a lot more people in this world are sicker than I would like to acknowledge.
Let us all keep Boston in our hearts right now, as the city streets slowly reopen and investigations start turning up with answers. This is too close for my comfort, I could drive an hour and be there (though I would take the train, I would never drive to Boston, that city's not meant for cars!).
