Reymond lived in Boston for three months last 2010. I followed him there for two weeks and those were the best two weeks of our life. We lived like newlyweds and we discovered every part of that city. We fell in love with Boston. In fact, we fell in love all over again there. We swore we would one day go back to bring our girls there. We also dreamed of one day running in the historic Boston Marathon. Impossible to qualify but hey, everyone is free to dream.
This morning, I woke up to the most horrific news. Two bombs exploded as the Boston Marathon was ongoing. How can this tragedy be allowed to happen?!? So senseless, so heart wrenching, so impossibly hard to understand.
My heart goes out to the people of Boston, the runners, the spectators, the medics and the police who put their own lives at risk and to everyone who is in Boston right now. I pray for your safety and I pray for the survival of those hurt by this terrible, terrible incident.
A special prayer goes out to the family of Martin Richard, the 8-year old boy who died at this event. Martin was running towards his father Bill who was about to finish the race when the bomb went off. His mother is also fighting for her life as she suffered a brain injury while his little sister lost her leg. Martin's father is physically unscathed but this event will forever scar this family. I pray for physical and emotional healing for this family. Please Lord, help this family survive this tragedy.
