How our boys so innocently and easily left Boston that terrible day. They left with nothing but good memories of their weekend, and with feelings of accomplishment. <br /><br />I feel so blessed that they knew nothing of what was about to happen, and were safely away from danger when they found out about it. We couldn't believe as we watched the news that evening the difference that 10 minutes had made!<br /><br />As I sit here today on my front porch with my 9 year old son(yes, he was the baby in the park I was breast feeding when I first met Donna). My 14 year old (who was in Boston the day of the bombing) doing some homework in his room. I am so grateful for the " normal" day we are having and think about how different our lives could have been with such a tiny 10 minute shift in the schedule. <br /><br />My heart goes out to those who were not as lucky as we were that day. <br /><br />Thank you Donna for putting it so eloquently. And thank you Mrs. M for looking after our boys and bringing them home safely. <br /><br />Risa<br />Risanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1255459659633633210.post-24538076468534117302013-05-09T11:04:21.361-04:002013-05-09T11:04:21.361-04:00Excellent story, beautiful and spiritual people ar...Excellent story, beautiful and spiritual people are all around us. when we find each other, MommyBest and friends, wonderful things happen.Sandra P.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1255459659633633210.post-52991884470557169962013-05-09T07:34:44.513-04:002013-05-09T07:34:44.513-04:00I am overwhelmed with your accolades.

At the same time I have to say that as a practicing Christian, God was with us....as He is on each day of our walk. I am humbled and touched. Thank you seems shallow but I honestly mean it. Next year, Dylan - I see great things in you and your partner's future. MRS.
