Senseless. Inhuman. Cowardly. Inexplicable.
All these words
can be used to describe the bombings at the finish line of yesterday's
Boston Marathon. But there are other words
that better describe what
took place in the seconds after the
blasts:
Heroic. Patriotic. Selfless. Compassionate.
As we mourn those
who lost their lives, and express our concerns and well wishes
for those who were injured, and our
heartfelt sympathies and support to
all the families involved, let us truly
focus on the positive actions of the many
Fire, Police and EMS personnel, the ER
Trauma teams of the Boston hospitals that
received and treated patients from the
incidents, and the amazing dedication of all the
Volunteers who stayed in harms way to
help all those in need. Their actions saved many
additional lives, and we are forever
grateful!
And, as we try to
grasp the simply horrific events of the day, perhaps the best
thing that each of us can do today and
indeed each day is to say a prayer or two and
ask God to welcome those who we've
lost, to heal the wounded, and to comfort
all those affected. But most
importantly, let's each ask and pray
that these days NEVER occur again!
