Re: Explosions at the Boston Marathon
I'm just...I don't even know. In shock isn't the right word for it, but it seems to be fitting. Since I left work an hour ago, I've had the chills constantly just thinking about it and reading about it.
I thank whatever higher beings there are, and whatever forces there are, that my sister was not watching the Marathon at either of those locations and none of the people I know who live around there were injured. This is just such a sad, disheartening event.
I just can't shake knowing that I've been to where the explosions happened. I've seen those places. It's the only city in the country that I've ever actually spent time in. While I may not live there (about 40 minutes away), it's my home, still.
I know a lot of people hate the city because of the people - they're rude, kind of racist, blunt, annoying, talk funny and are generally ****ty sports fans - but the support shown to this city today from people all over the country is amazing. Seeing NY buildings lit up with "NY <3 Boston" and ****....it's chilling.
I'm glad all of my fellow MA/Boston OSers and their families/friends are okay. I'm glad my family and friends are okay. But holy **** if I don't want to break down and lose it knowing that there are people out there, who were in the city I love, who aren't as lucky, who lost a loved one or who found out a loved one is seriously injured.
