Boston Love

boston

I’ve stepped away from the blog this week because, well, everything I thought to post just seemed so trivial in light of the recent Boston bombings. Boston is where I’m from, where the whole of my family resides. Publishing a recipe didn’t feel right. And so, in lieu of anything culinary or creative, I’ll just stop in just to say hello. I’m thinking of you. I hope you’re safe and sound, and that all those you know and care for are OK as well.  My heart goes out to everyone affected (in any way) by Monday’s tragedy.

    Boston is one of my all-time favorite cities in the world. I have visited there many, many times for both business and pleasure, and have travelled the localities impacted by the bombings on numerous occasions. Therefore, the tragedy has touched me in a personal way. My thoughts and prayers are also with all of those affected by this most senseless act of violence.

    Thank you for your thoughtful words on this sad event. It is so important for those that can to slow down and give some energy (prayer or otherwise) to this situation. This is a tragic event and should not be trivialized. My heart goes out to the families of the injured.

    Andie – I’ve been reading your blog for a while now but this is my first comment. I was born and raised in MA (and I’m a fellow UMass Amherst alum!) and I just want to say thanks for acknowledging the tragic events that happened at the Boston Marathon on Monday. Maybe I’m feeling a little self-centered about it because I’m from the area, but there seems to be a depressingly small amount of mention of these events by most of the blogs I read. It really leaves a bad taste in my mouth to see so many “business as usual” style posts and I wish more people had the respect you’ve shown here. :)

    My heart goes out to all those affected by the horrible incident in Boston. This is most definitely a time for us to appreciate everything we have got, and how truly special the gift of life is.

    I feel the same way Andie. What a fitting dedication. I didn’t want to even do anything, just glued to the news hoping they would catch them fast. Used to visit when my brother was at Harvard and when my cousin was at MIT. Now we find a Police officer was shot and killed at MIT. It is a crying shame. Just the thought of those people without legs just makes my heart go into deep anguish. Love Boston. The best of America.
