bombing at Boston Marathon

Apr 15, 2013 13:57

I was cleaning the house a little while ago and when I sat back down at the computer the first thing on my facebook feed was this:

Holy crap. I think my mind went completely blank when I read the headline then filled up with one thought:
My cousin, Lee, is running that marathon. Then I kind of freaked out and had to scan back through my feed to find something from the family.

Thankfully he is okay. Him and all his friends had finished already and all are accounted for. They got in touch with someone to spread the word. My cousin Chad was the one to the info to the family. What did we do before facebook? Phone trees would have taken forever.

This is horrific. My thoughts go out to the injured and their families and to those who lost someone today.

I'm still kind of shaky.

omg! wtf!
