It was too shocking, but the stories of Bostonians taking in visitors, and rushing to help were inspiring too.  My only suggestion is don't let fear change you or the terrorists win.  My prayers are for all the victims and their families and friends.

I appreciate your thoughts and totally understand them. Stay strong. Praying for all!  Hugs guy.  Don't let it control your life.. Hugs, Jo ann

There may be some evil people in this world, but they are still greatly outnumbered by the good guys.

This makes me really sad to hear. I'm so sorry you and the people of Boston have to go through this, but I am also glad to hear of all the kindness of strangers towards each other in a hard time like this.

Sadly terrorist attacks like this are a reality for everyone living in "target countries", but the fact is the individual risk of being killed or injured in a terrorist attack is virtually non-existent compared to other causes. Daddy and Joann are right - continue living your life as you've always done. Life will get back to normal - the human spirit is very resilient. The only change everyone needs to make is to be more vigilant, be more aware of what's going on around you. "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance" has a new meaning in our modern world.

When I heard of the bombing in Boston my first thought was "doesn't the fluffy puppy live in Boston" .. I was so relieved when you wrote a status update and said you where okay !

This is very, very sad.. So much evil in this world
