A to Z: Nothing (Boston Bombings)

Due to the Boston Bombings, I am taking a break from the A to Z challenge for a day. I was originally planning to write about nicknames, but I'm going to save it for after the challenge. I am reserving "N" for remembrance today.

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.

I'm not a news reporter, and I thought a fellow Yahoo Contributor said it best:

"There are a lot of hoaxes (fake photos) circulating the internet of those who were injured and killed in yesterday's Boston bombings. Think TWICE before you share them and please remember two things- One, don't believe everything you read; Two, keep your newsfeed positive. Remembrance is great, but rumors take away from the good in the world."

  3. The whole thing just sickens me. Just got a note this a.m. that there was a gunman running around campus in Waukesha where my friends daughters go. They did get him after awhile. I just don't understand.

  7. My husband is a marathoner who has always dreamed of qualifying for Boston. Running is like oxygen for these people, so I can't imagine the horror of that day, especially for someone who can run no more.

  12. I am a resident of Bombay, India, a city that has been ravaged by terror attacks on multiple occasions. My heart goes out to all those whose lives have been drastically altered by this horrendous attack. I pray that they may recover soon and that the guilty may be punished.
