I just don't understand why the world has to be the way it is sometimes...I've been reflecting since Monday about this Boston Marathon situation. I seriously felt sick to my stomach all night. I stopped watching the news, because it just made me so sad. I don't really have much to say about the situation, or nothing really insightful, honestly. I just feel bad for so many people on so many levels. Of course the obvious, the families of the people who passed, and the injured, and the first responders who had to see some horrific things. But, I also feel sick for the runners who hadn't quite finished. Who were pulled off the course. Could you IMAGINE?! They must feel so torn. Disappointment that their race had to end like that? Sadness for the people affected? And probably so much more. One of my student's mothers finished the race 3 minutes before the first explosion. 3 MINUTES!! She was so grateful she pushed through and decided not to walk, even when her legs were screaming at her to WALK! I can't even imagine what was going through her mind after she finished, and heard and saw the chaos. I pray for the people of this country and the people who will eventually be too afraid to do fun and normal things with their families, out of fear. It's truly a tragedy the way people will need to start living their lives. I also pray that I can raise Claire and baby #2 to see all the good in people, and all the good in the world, because honestly, there is so much- it's just too bad it gets over looked at times like these.
On a lighter note, my parents were in for a visit over the weekend, on their way back from Florida. We had a great time. I have a few pictures to share, and a few from another special occasion, but I need to get them from Kristi's camera, and then I'll share.
Hope you're having a good week!
