Why in the world can't people JUST live and let live? I do know that Satan is in this world. Someday he won't be though. There will be a NEW earth. I'm going to be there. God will wipe our tears away. xoxoRobyn Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356555082768185840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-89829394389782096982013-04-22T14:24:45.697-04:002013-04-22T14:24:45.697-04:00So beautifully written and so wonderful that you a...So beautifully written and so wonderful that you and yours are safe. <br />We are all in this together and will survive it that way- together.'Yellow Rose' Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496382898548158316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-74113902655595634302013-04-22T11:59:50.765-04:002013-04-22T11:59:50.765-04:00I'm so glad you and your family are all safe. ...I'm so glad you and your family are all safe.

Boston is so rich in history. This is another page in her illustrious book. Bostonians can be be proud. <br /><br />I've never been to there, but it's one city I'd love to visit, and have YOU as a tour guide. I know I'd see more than the average tourist. <br /><br />Bish Denhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359927719391990534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-81889160604031093612013-04-21T09:09:28.806-04:002013-04-21T09:09:28.806-04:00I cannot imagine what it must have been like there...I cannot imagine what it must have been like there. I don't think our minds (and hearts) can make sense of something like this happening in our home. <br /><br />But all Bostonians should be proud of how they handled this catastrophe and how strong you all appeared to the rest of us.

This has been twisting in my gut since it happened, and I didn't know anyone PERSONALLY. I wasn't worried for anyone SPECIFICALLY. I wasn't worried about the next time I walked down Boylston Street, because I never have. And might never in the future... But it has still been heavy on my mind. When the second brother was finally apprehended, it was a relief. <br /><br />You are right. This happened to our entire country. Again. When terrorists attack anywhere in the USA, the attack ALL of the USA. What they don't seem to understand is that we always come out stronger for it. Our flag is still waving.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-84035848740198010552013-04-20T11:16:45.750-04:002013-04-20T11:16:45.750-04:00Beautifully said, Liza.

My god, the fear and chaos that must have been your lives. This sort of thing is impossible to understand. Hardly possible to even grasp as a real thing, here in this country. Even though we've seen it happen before. But we've been so fortunate to live in a strong country, one so strong it can be easy to feel invincible, so events like the Boston Marathon tragedy are that much more unsettling. We've not had war-torn years on our soil to desensitize ourselves to any degree. <br /><br />And I hope it stays that way. I hope that events like this will never feel normal. I hope we will always fear getting hit by a bus more than we'll fear something like this. While still tragic, it feels easier to comprehend an accident, just a random freak thing that maybe, maybe we have some control over. But a bombing? It can never make sense. It has no place in the order of things. <br /><br />My heart breaks for all those caught off guard, hurt and broken. For those of you who stood by waiting to see what loved ones might be gone or hurt or in some way affected. For anyone who felt even a moment of fear or desperate longing to reach a loved one, or who had a flashback to a time where they did experience that. And to be honest, my heart breaks for the youth--or anyone--who can't find a path out of hatred before they're led to devastation.<br /><br />But I'm so glad you're okay. So glad your family and loved ones are okay.Carolina M.
