While watching and reading about the bombings at the Boston Marathon, all I could think about was a favorite children's book, "Make Way for Ducklings."
The book was read to me by my grandmother, and it was given to Mackenzie by her great aunt Jane and great uncle Ted. It is about a duckling family-the Mallards-who venture into downtown Boston for the day. They are aided by a Boston policeman, Michael, and the Boston PD as they navigate the busy streets of the city. The moral of the story is to help others, no matter how small they are.
Attacks like the one in Boston are senseless, horrible and cruel. My heart goes out to those families who lost loved ones, those who are suffering from war-like wounds, and all those first responders and volunteers who helped those in need.
For this terrible deed, there are hundreds of heroic deeds done-by good people like Michael. I am trying to focus on that instead of the heinous bombing.
Go Boston, Go America.
