2 Bombings in as Many Days ...

It is hard to express how each of us feels when we experience an act of terrorism.  I am thankful that my family has not been affected in any way by either of these bombings but as Americans we each suffer the consequences of such heinous acts.  We all feel the helplessness of being left with no control over who hurts us, when and where!

There was a bombing at the finish line of the Boston Marathon.  3 people were killed and many many lost limbs and were seriously injured.  Many of the injured and 1 of the dead were children.  This was an act of terrorism where Boston is currently on lockdown as they work to find the 2nd suspect.  The 1st suspect, being the older brother of suspect 2, was shot and killed in a police stand off while each of us slept safely in our beds!



The second bombing was purely accidental and not an act of terrorism at a fertilizer plant in Texas.  12 people were killed and that number could increase. The chemicals found in fertilizer plants are highly toxic and very flammable / explosive!  The exact chemical found at this facility was used in making the bomb used in the Oklahoma City bombings many many years ago.


No we can't know when it is our time to go.  But we definitely would like it not to be at the hands of someone else and not before we get to live our lives!  See our children grow and have their own children!  And please Leave our Kids Alone!  ....


On a slightly brighter note.  I found this cute picture that reminds me of my husband.  He love penguins.  What was cute is once he saw it he found me a nice shiny pebble and laid it at my feet :-)
