Running for your life

Hard to believe that once again tragedy has stuck the US in the form of a violent bombing in Boston at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. I felt numb when I heard the news – so hard to understand why anyone would do this. Feel even more numb when I came home and asked my daughter to switch the TV to the news since something had happened in Boston. She casually said “oh yeah, that bombing.”  What struck me was that she sees this as something normal. Just another event. Just another day with violence. Wow. This is not the world I ever envisioned for her. Not a world I envisioned for myself. I’m just thankful that I still react, still a shock to me. Just wish it was for my daughter.
