Boston Written immediately following the Boston Marathon Bombings of 2013. God Bless America! To those injured in Boston out running for a cause. The things you are enduring has brought the whole world to a pause. As we stand in the distance though miles away from you. Even in your sufferings the whole world suffers too. Holding you within our hearts and lifting you up when we pray. Even now we stand beside you right up to this day. Saddened by the state we're in saddened by those lost. United in our freedom but saddened by it's cost. Even now this very moment we all stop and ask why? We may never understand no matter how we try. The hate that others harbor knowing that we've done no wrong. Even in not understanding it's together we stay strong. In spite of any tragedies and miles tween you and I. Together we remain as one in freedom til we die. Edwin C Hofert

Beautiful, sad write, Edwin. It was a sad day indeed, as many others that happened and made the world stop and reflect on its current state. We know however, that is still in control. A 7. Kim :)
