I know everyone seems to have this same feeling.
It's been a hard week.
Boston bombings.
The Texas fertilizer plant.
Sinkhole.
Boston shutdown.
Personal disappointments.
Needless to say, there have been a lot of tears this week. Sad, grieving ones. And happy, joyful one.
My oldest daughter was inducted into the National Honor Society on Monday. Wednesday, she celebrated 18 years. My youngest daughter played in a tournament in Toledo this weekend and the team placed 3rd place.
I know America is feeling the same way that I am - sad that two men could cause so much devastation but proud of all the helpers that rose to the occasion. I watched with tears in my eyes how many police and firemen and everyday joes began immediately lending hands to those injured. America is an amazing place.
I am just being raw and open. So much has happened this week.
Take care & be safe,
Mel
