The TV has been pretty much overtaken with news this past two days of the two bombs that exploded at the finish of the Boston Marathon. Such a terrible thing to have happen to those innocent people with no idea of who or why would do such a thing, at least so far.
Of the three people who died, one was an eight year old boy who was there with his mother and sister to watch his father run. His mother was seriously injured and required brain surgery and his sister lost a leg. I can't begin to imagine the horror that father must be feeling now. It's such a senseless act of violence - what on earth is the world coming to? To bring it a little closer to home, one of the boys on my grandson's hockey team was there with is mom, who was also running. We know they are safe but we can only pray that he was no where near the site and to have to witness the carnage. I can only imagine the impact that sort of thing will have on the people who were there. Those who might not have been physically injured, the experience will certainly leave emotional scars for a very long time, I would think.
On a much happier note, Meghan (1) should be back on the island, for the week anyway, so welcome home Meg! She and her dad were due back last evening. Hopefully the weather will cooperate for your visit. Brenda had picked up a large number of tulips on Friday so Bernie could deliver them to his sisters in New Brunswick. I'm ever so pleased that they also thought of me. I really did enjoy when he was driving the tulip truck last winter and I pretty much always had a bunch of lovely fresh tulips on my table. They add such a bright burst of colour and give you the feeling on a cold snowy day that Spring will truly be here soon.
