Bostonians, Unite / Marathon and JFK Blasts Aftermath
12 years ago
Hey dearies.
About three hours ago my friend
pjt and I were talking when all of a sudden the harrowing words were given to me.
"A bomb just went off at the Boston Marathon and my father is there."
My heart sank, knowing this person and that it wouldn't be a joke at all. I quickly thought of some of my friends in the area and wished nothing had happened to them, as much as I had wished for a minimal casualty count.
Nothing could be farther from that wish, as eventually, people died, and hundreds were injured, including two relatives of a friend of mine attending the marathon.
Thank goodness no one was harmed at the JFK Library accident.
I've to admit I'm a little scared to go out tomorrow, given the fact that I've already had to endure too much tragedy in NY. But... I cannot falter. No one should. We shouldn't be scared into some kind of submission. Shouldn't be terrorized into perpetual fear.
I just want to say... That my heart goes out to everyone there; much strength and love and support to every one of you. To all of us as Americans.
My utmost sincere condolances to those who have lost their loved ones.
Stay strong and keep your chin up.
Peace.
I will try to do these one by one as fast as I can. I haven't forgotten. Sorry for the delay.

Remember folks if you let the fear get to you then the terrorists win.
It may sound trite and maybe a bit like a sound bite, but its the truth.
Then again, I'm from north of the border, so I might have a different vision of it all, but my thoughts still go out to all those affected.

My thoughts are with the victims and their families.
I agree that we shouldn't be scared; we can't let the occasional lone wolf terrorist, or the occasional shooting keep us from living our lives. And we also shouldn't let the government or media scare us into surrendering our liberties in the name of "safety" aka government control.
Still, I really hope that you and your friends will be okay. Stay safe, Skyrilla.
