Today our nation was struck with once again another tragedy
as it seems like we do regularly every few months or so. As of 4 o’clock
central time, three bombs have gone off in the city of Boston Massachusetts.
The first two bombs happened on opposite sides near the finish of line of the
Boston marathon. The third bomb which just recently went off occurred at the
JFK Presidential Library located just about three miles away from the marathon’s
finish line. So far, as many as two have died along with thirty others injured
(not counting the most recent 3rd bomb).
It really makes me
angry that we live in such a world like this. There are people who won’t be
making it home to their families tonight due to this act of terrorism. The sad
thing is though, there’s really not a whole lot we can do about it as the cruel
people behind all these national tragedies are mentally ill. I’m not sure if
the people responsible for this attack are mentally ill but still. It’s messed
up. People were either just running 26.3 miles which takes a whole lot of
training to do, their families were there to support them and they get
attacked. My mom used to run marathons. She ran one in San Diego and another in
Minneapolis. It scares me that what if she was still running them? She may have
ran this one. And my dad probably would have gone with her. It just opens my
eyes for me to realize how lucky I am that I have both my parents coming home
tonight. My prayers go out to everyone who is and is going to be affected by
this. God bless.
