I was cooking dinner when I heard. What was going on in mind at the time.

I was cooking dinner, I turned on the Radio. As I do every night at this time. My phone was on the Dock and my laptop was open and logged on to Fb..I started hearing Ding after Ding seriously like 15 ding's within a 5 min span. And then The notifications start happening on FB. My hands were covered in gross stuff. So I couldn't look at what was going on. At that time. On the radio. " stay tuned to what just happened in Boston" There has been a tragedy during the Boston Marathon. It is confirmed there has been 2 explosions at the finish Line.

Oh, My God....No

I called Tom at work. Thank God He wasn't running.

I dial the number....

But His team mates...they are all there. What time did it go off?

I asked Tom if he heard what happened. He didn't! I could hear the Shakiness in his voice at that instant. I have to call the guys, He says. He hangs up.

I washed my hands and got on my phone. I had texts, messages, and calls. Is Tom ok??

I got on FB and read the messages. Is Tom ok?

I got on to the News feed. I don't want to look. Oh Lord, why? Who did this? Are the guys ok?

I started seeing pictures and videos. I had to stop. I just can't imagine. yet so Relieved that we weren't there.

I was brought back to 2 years ago. The thousands of people that were there watching with anticipation. Cheering on their loved ones. And speaking encouraging words to people whom they have never met.  When we were there, I fell in love with Boston. I loved watching for my hubby. Its such an amazing atmosphere. Positive and uplifting. Kids with a sippy cup in one hand, and a clapper in the other. Waiting for the their mom or dad to pass by.

oh, God there were children there.

My heart sank, but I got a text. everyone on Toms team was safe. Thank God. But everyone else...some had died and lots injured.

I guess this time...They won't be celebrating.

Tom wasn't there this year running. But I know he felt torn about that too. He wanted to be there for his friends. He was pretty distraught all night thinking about it.

I guess things can happen anywhere. At anytime with no warning or an understanding of why?

Hug and kiss your loved ones.
