Possible explosion at the finish line for the Boston Marathon?

[Triskeliongirl]

SheFly echoes everything I feel. I have always been extremely proud of my birthplace and its unique place in history.
Which is why after 21 years in 2 other states where the "living was easy," I chose to return, so my own children could experience what I did.
And, I'm really glad I did.

This impacted me a lot emotionally too. Not just because I had to comfort a daughter through it but it was my hood too. I grew up in a suburb of Boston, was educated in Boston /Cambridge, ran the Boston marathon in my youth. For me it got really personal when the MIT officer was killed. I was a postdoc at MIT, its where I met my husband. It's where my son did his undergrad studies, its where my daughter is starting her PhD studies, in fact it happened right outside the neuroscience building where my daughter will soon be working. My daughter posted on Facebook my phone keeps auto correcting gun shots to fun shots. Indeed what 26 year old should be posting about gun shots! The coolest part was when they were under lockdown and couldn't go out to buy food I told her pool ingredients with folks in the other units in your building and make a wonderful terror Day meal that one day u an tell your children about. And that is exactly what they did. People were applauding because they felt SAFE again.
