I'm heartbroken for every person who has been affected by this awful tragedy, not only the victims, but those who have been locked down throughout today.
I love Boston. I've gone several different times throughout the years, and I have always had an amazing time there. On Monday, I had countless friends watching the marathon. I had people I know who were running in the marathon. When I first heard of this tragedy, tears ran into my eyes, worrying about each one of my friends who was in the city for such a magical event. Because the Boston marathon, from what I hear, is a magical event.
I was supposed to be there on Monday. A few months back, my friend asked if I wanted to go cheer on her brother. While I never followed up with her, I had told her I wanted to go because I have always heard such great things about the race. A whole day where the city is basically shut down to celebrate this marathon? Who wouldn't want to go to such a celebration.
The city of Boston is once again shut down, but today, it's shut down to hunt for a teenage who has left such fear in not only the people of Boston, but also for the whole nation. I have been sitting in front of my television all day, trying to understand it all.
To my friends who are in Boston, you are amazing. To the people of Boston, you are strong. Keep your heads held high and know that you have an entire nation praying that this terror ends soon. I can not even begin to imagine how terrifying it is to hear the sirens constantly outside of my window, and being told not to leave my house. Boston is such a great city, filled with strength and beauty. I think we have seen both from the people of Boston this week and it shows the nation the some of the reasons why I love this city.
