I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon, and say "oh, I was here when it happened," or "I know so-and-so who was hurt."
I will say this though...today, I am thankful. I work just outside the city, and I was pissed all yesterday because on a Massachusetts holiday, Patriot's Day, my office was open, and I had to work.
I thought about calling in sick. I wanted to go to the marathon with my friends. I didn't. I stayed at work, and I remained safe.
Today, I can only be grateful and thankful and simply ask that people just continue to pray for the people and city of Boston.
