Like so many others, I can not get the bombings, the feeling of terror and helplessness, the innocent victims, their families, the runners, the patients recuperating in various Boston hospitals, out of my mind. At least I know the victims are getting the very best care in the world. I keep praying for Mr. Richard Donohue, the MBTA cop, who is still fighting for his life. There's no doubt in my mind, after hearing his to the bone Bostonian brother inform the media of his status, that his family is beyond Boston Strong.
I've heard so many people's opinions over the past week. The media, celebrities, my family and friends have informed and vented to try to understand and/or get some kind of answer to why anyone could do what those two terrorist assholes came up with. There is no answer. Even if the living bomber does share information, how can we ever really know? One thing those terrorists don't know is that they can't and never will break us. Our spirit is too strong and loyal.
Being from Boston does give you bragging rights. Quite frankly, we are wicked pissa. We live in diverse communities. We have the best hospitals, sports teams, history, and character. We have a blunt attitude and may sound funny to the rest of the country. There ain't no place on earth like it.
You can probably tell by now that I am friggen angry. I am sad, scared, proud, hopeful, but mostly I am pissed off. Of course now, we are going to hear which agency did what wrong and pass the buck and blah blah. At least we can learn from the mistakes that may have been made. My point is that we should never have to combine every law agency in the country because of two morons who decided to betray the very country that educated, housed, and protected them. I just can't get my head around it. What the hell went wrong for one, never mind two young men to follow through with such a hateful and senseless assault on our city.
In my opinion and based on what the media allowed us to see and hear, law enforcement agencies from all over did an amazing job. From being on the scene of the Marathon bombings on Monday to apprehending the suspect on Friday evening. Their bravery and courage inspires me. The support that the country and world has given to Boston is incredible. Our city may have been shaken up but it will never be broken. The neighbors and citizens of this great city will never ever give up. The comradery will prevail. It will take time but as they say...time heals all wounds.
The reason for this blog obviously lacking any word of food was for me to get a small amount of what I am constantly thinking out. I'm not judging or looking down at you from my soap box. This is how I feel right now. I am angry, hopeful, but most of all I am proud to be a Bostonian. God Bless America. <3
