A Sincere Thank You from Boston
A Sincere Thank YOU from Boston.
As many of you know, Boston is where I live . It has been my home since 1981. What has transpired this week in Boston , has left many feeling sad, anxious, worried, and violated. Once again, the wonderful people from all over the USA and the world , stood with us as one. Everyone watched , and prayed with us. Finally , the latest terror in Boston has ended, but unfortunately, it has altered life as we once knew it. It will take time for all of us Bostonians to rebound, but I have no doubt, we will be stronger then ever!!
I can not even begin to thank you ALL for your thoughts and prayers. For all of your emails, and notes you sent me this week, kept me inspired, and hopeful. It has been an extremely emotional week . Your continued notes and prayers, truly helped me through this surreal time in Boston. Thank you for the bottom of my heart.
With heartfelt gratitude to you ALL,
Passy xo

Thinking about you at this time, Leaf
Thank you Leaf! You are such a caring person. 🙂
So glad you’re ok, Passy,it must have been a dreadful time for your city. There’s a lot of fear and hurt at the moment….but I know the city and it’s people will refuse to be brought down. The lesson is simple…..you don’t allow terror to beat you.

You are so right Maisie. It has been a difficult time here, but I know things will get better soon. Thank you for your encouraging words. xo
What happened was a terrible tragedy. There is no sense to it whatsoever.
Thank you for your words Chrisie. It really does not make any sense!! xo

Paddy, thank you for your kind words. I hope your friend is ok. You should try to look him up. xo
Passy I am so glad you are physically all right and I pray that with time and good friends and family emotionally you will heal.
Thank you so much for your words Frieda. Yes friends and family will be part of the healing process. xo
Wonderful to hear from you Passy……what a tragic experience. It certainly touched us all the way up here at the North Pole and we watched yesterday as the ‘final’ scene played out. So many have been irreparably damaged. The counter-balance to all this pain is love and joy. We will do our best to offer you that here.
Yes, absolutely right, Anurri. So many have been irreparably damaged. Thank you for your words and friendship. xo

What a shock for you, happy to hear your ok ~I used to live in Concord, used to go to Boston a lit hard to beeline what the world is coming to….never would have though t…peace be to all xx
Deb, I remember our talks about you living in the Boston area. Yes, no one would have thought especially on Marathon Day , something like this would happen. Peace to you as well. xo
Passy…Boston is a beautiful place…beautiful people indeed…! This kind of horrendous event will not be forgotten but it will make the Bostonian mightier than ever….that event I have seen on tv is so intense that my heart and thoughts are with the Bostonian. The courage, the unity, the very organised system to protect its people….highly commended…very impressive…!!!
Thank you so much precy! Yes, there has been an enormous amount of courage in Boston. It truly makes me proud . Good to see you back and posting again. 🙂
Take care Passaggio..there’s always a moment in our lives that we will be challenged…and we must be ready for it!
Yes it must be a huge trauma for all concerned, my heart goes out to all involved.
Thank you skippy.
Bless you Passy…….I sure hope we get to see you in chat this weekend. You can see how many folks here love you and want to be here for you…….Big Canadian hugs my dear friend….
Bless you too Anurri. Thank you for being so caring. 🙂
Boston continues to be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you all, Passy. xxx
Your thoughts and prayers are so appreciated for all of Boston. Thank you so much Pam. xo
I have certainly had you all in my thoughts as has everyone else. We have a son in Boston that was actually in the race but pulled out half way through..so I can say with honesty that I understand how everyone felt. We were so terrified when we saw what had happened….but seeing the response by people to stop and help others was inspirational. I know that Boston will recover in time and my thoughts continue to go out to all of you..
Oh Catra, I can well imagine how you must have been feeling , being so far away . I hope your son is doing ok. Yes , it has been so inspirational here , with so many people helping one another. Thank you for your caring words. xo
We were all so worried about you, Passy. So happy you are safe. xxx
Lo, I can not thank you enough for your concern and care. You are the best of the best from Jersey… 😉 xoxo
Thanks for the update, Passy. What happened in your city is such a horrific tragedy. So many people were affected…many lost friends and family members, and many were left with serious injuries…lives changed forever. I know that Bostonians are very strong and will get through this, with continued support from all around the world. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with all of those affected.
AMEN , Kate !
Passy, one thing (of many) that sticks to my mind is when that cowboy (man from Costa Rica) ran to help the young man with the double amputee of his legs. That was so heroic of him to run out and help out. You are right, Boston has so many good people.
Carlos Arredondo — easily recognizable in photos and videos because of his cowboy hat — was one of those heroes and is prominently featured in two of the more memorable and traumatic images from Monday’s attack.
Pam, I know , wasn’t that remarkable? Anurri was talking about the same Man in the hat!!
Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers. xo
That man lost a son to the war in Iraq and then the younger son committed suicide afterwards, Passy. That loss grew exponentially four years later, when Arredondo’s surviving son killed himself at age 24, partly out of grief from losing his older brother.
God bless Boston and help its people heal xoxox
