Just can't...

I can't concentrate, I can't focus because if I do, I will feel awful. Why should I be planning such a happy day and be excited for something when some a-hole bombed my city? I have no idea how to feel about this. I can't stop crying but yet, I should be laughing. I am thankful that nobody I know (as far as I know) has been injured.

Such an awful awful thing to happen. My city is strong, but when it hits close to home, you definitely feel a little differently. Most people call us Massholes and say Boston is an angry city. If you saw the way people came together yesterday you wouldn't believe that stereotype anymore. I am so thankful for all the brave men and women that ran TOWARDS the scene to help others.

I have so much that I need to do, and I just don't feel like doing it. How can I get over this so quickly to enjoy my day Saturday? Will I even be able to enjoy my day?

I am so sorry. I know what you mean.  I have run the Boston Marathon twice, and my heart just breaks watching the news. I just keep thinking how much a happy day Marathon Monday is and then this happens. I know it's hard right now, but do not let this evil get to you. This should be a happy time in your life.

I don't know what to say except that I am truly sorry and sad that this happened. Try not to worry: your wedding will be great! Surround yourself with your friends and family, as I'm sure you already are this week, and enjoy this time. I know it might be easier said than done.

Thanks guys. I just don't want to feel guilty being happy.

On a positive note, today is my last day of work. Yippee!

Feel happy on your day. Because if you do you're showing the a-holes that did this that Boston is strong! Boston will move on. Boston will heal. You are proof of that. So you go on with your daily life, as will your fellow Bostonians, and you'll heal. My thoughts and prayers go out to your city.

Yes, enjoy your day. My heart goes out to everyone in Boston. So sad. Just appreciate all you have on your special day.

     I know exactly how you feel, while I live outside the city I work in Boston and was at work yesterday.  I'm also getting married this Saturday and have quite the to do list still!  I had every intention of getting a lot done last night and just could not do any of it. 

     Remember to enjoy your day and I think you will feel especially blessed that you are celebrating with all of your friends and family.  I live about an hour away from my famliy and won't see them till Thursday when we start celebrations but I am looking forward to that time with them that much more now and I know that it will mean more to me as well.  I see that today is your last day of work so take some time to reflect and then clear your mind (as much as you can) and set your sights on your celebration!
