boston

i have a confession to make. i'm one of those "ignorance is bliss" kind of people. i purposely avoid the news at all costs. if i don't hear/ see it. it's not happening. but when something huge happens, between facebook, twitter and instagram, it's impossible to avoid.

i just wonder why those two young men thought this would be a good idea. the U.S. found sadam hussein and osama bin laden in other countries. what made them think they could get away with this?

i can't help but feel bad for that 19 year old boy. he's just a boy. like, younger than me. and i still feel like a child sometimes. not only did he take away 3 people's lives, then watch his brother die, but he thew his own life away. why? what did they benefit from it?

i found this on facebook and it brought me to tears:

this is 8 year old Martin Richard. he was one of the 3 who died. 

i have no words to describe my sadness. he's just so young and innocent and he understands what so many people have a hard time grasping. and it's just the opposite of what he wanted that took him from this earth.

i don't know this boy, i didn't know he existed until i saw this picture. but i nanny an 8 year old boy. my brother is only 9. i just feel sick to my stomach that someone could hurt that precious face.

those 3 people are with heavenly father now. and they are happy.

i just hope that one day, the rest of the world can want this simple thing that

this child understood.

God be with his family and the rest of Boston through this time.
