This was too close a call for me.  Not only because I had a friend running in the marathon (thankfully ok, but only 5 minutes from the end of the race when it went off), but because my daughter Bethany is a student at Boston University, and her dorm is fairly close to the exposions.  I am a bit shocky, I can only imagine how she is feeling.  I do know she is physically ok.
At this point I'm starting to get mad.  I am mad that my baby has had a part of her innocense ripped away, because now, at the relatively young age of barely 19 she knows that the world is a dangerous place.  This is my independent child, the one that has been to South Africa and twice to France...and she is in shock and incredibly sad.  I have no words.

children, personal;
