Dear Avaleigh,
I want to share some thoughts with you that express how I feel right now. There was a bomb set off today at the Boston Marathon. I have read somethings earlier this afternoon about this. I want to share some thoughts with you that are not my own, but I’m just going to put them in my words.
What happened today in Boston was tragic, gut-wrenching even. My Dad said that it’s a shame what the world is coming to and how tragic it is and in all of his infinite wisdom (and he is much smarter than me). I told him I agreed and disagreed.
Today, a Twitter and Facebook account that says it is run by Clark Griswold (it’s funny and I wish there was more of that in our world) had a great post. It said something like this….”Some people say humanity is sick. The bombers are sick. The humanity is the outpouring of people who helped.”
While it scares me that I’m bringing a kid into this world, it still comforts me to know that there were people running towards the explosion after it occured…..all to help. Always run to the explosion, Avaleigh. Always help. You must learn to put others before yourself. How you live your life determines the kind of person you are. Don’t ever forget that.
God bless Boston.
I love you today, tomorrow, and forever,
Dad
