Thoughts to those in Boston & beyond
 

My thought to those of you in Boston and anyone who had a runner in today's race.

So much hatred.
So much heartbreak.

May we all be safe and loved.

Well said, Lisa.

My thoughts and sympathy to all affected by this horrible tragedy.

Such a tragedy.....breaks my heart :(

So many people were posting excited messages on FB, etc about participating in the marathon today. I pray that they are all well and safe and that all of the families and friends will be safe and all together soon.

What a sad day. My thoughts are with all of those involved.

So horrible. I've been off the computer for much of the afternoon and am just catching up and am sick at the news. Very sad.

My hope is that they find the person(s) involved very quickly, and nothing else happens in the coming weeks.

Such a sad ending for so many families.

As bad as it was, I am grateful that they found the other explosives before they detonated. I agree that the hopefully the responsible party is brought to justice quickly.

So awful... Many friends and family were in Boston. My brother and sister-in-law work about a block away..... My dads office is on Stuart st. which is a block awAy.... I have felt sick all night. My family is fine. took a while to get in
touch but finally did. my bro has run the last three years. glad he was too tied up with my niece this year. i posted in another thread tonight and felt awkward afterwards and deleted it. Glad there is a thread dedicated to this.... I don't know how I am going to sleep tonight....

Boston: hoping to an end to this manhunt!

We are breathing again. The suspect #2 is in custody and alive. He was apprehended in Watertown (just outside of Boston). They also arrested three people from an apartment near my house in New Bedford, who he apparently spent a lot of time with and shared a cell phone bill with. It's been a scary day in Boston and New Bedford/Dartmouth, but the law enforcement has been amazing keeping things under control and getting the job done.

Absolutely amazing! I've been hearing rumors of a duck boat rally for all the first responders, would be fitting!!

My prayers to all. PEACE.

The kind words have been wonderful. Although I wasn't at the marathon a friend of mine finished three minutes before the bomb. Thank god they got them!

Scorbett- looks like we are neighbors!! (well were neighbors) I lived at Rockdale West (now Hidden Brooks) while in grad school and was brought up in Dartmouth! Glad we can start moving forward after a crazy week!!!!
