Oh my ... when I look back at the past 10 days I have to jusy shake my head in wonder.
My arm is the least of everything currently going on in my life ... but my heart still aches for all of the families, people, citizens and first responders of both Boston and West. As victims from both tragedies are being laid to rest, honored and memorialized, I like everyone else wonder -- WHY?
The answers may never be given for everything that happened on Monday ... then Thursday night and all day Friday in Boston. West was nearly destroyed by an unexplaned fire and resulting explosion that created 15 confirmed deaths, hundreds injured, and scores of families left homeless when their homes were demolished in a blast that registered 400 miles away as a seismic event. Pictures of the destruction bring to mind F5 tornado damage to homes, buildings and lives.
I can't speak for Boston, but the people of West and hundreds of other Texans are rallying around one another to move forward. Classes will resume Monday (tomorrow) on makeshift campuses for students in 6th through 12th grades. Again, people from all over Central Texas as well as the Metroplex have provided a little normalcy for the lives of students to get back to class, back to extracurricular events, and other daily activities for them, their families and their teachers.
We as average citizens may never have all the answers for either tragedy ... and ... we may not need to know everything. Hopefully, from both of these tragedies, our contry as a whole will look at security of all types differently, more critically in the future. Our lives keep changing due to outside influences. We as a nation need to pull together for strength and do whatever small thing we are able to contribute and keep our lives as normal as possible while being every vigilent where overall safety is concerned.
Always I wish you peace, joy and happiness, but most of all I wish you Love.
As Ever, Annie
