Yesterday Elizabeth and I went to watch the Marathon
with the Raskells. On Saturday they
bought Elizabeth a “Marathon Cowbell” in Hopkinton so we rang it and yelled out
the names of the runners. We saw Jake’s
middle school principal running and a family friend.
I decided about a half hour before leaving for the
marathon to have a barbeque so we invited the Raskells and the Davis’s
over. I took Elizabeth and Davin to the
store to buy hamburger and hotdogs then we went home to prepare. The Raskells arrived and Tiffanie’s phone
started ringing. People asking if she
was alright. Don joked that the only
injury we’d received was my sunburn. Then
we realized what happened. Erin left the
room to call her husband who was at work in Boston. He was right there and heard both
explosions. He was on his way home.
We didn’t feel like celebrating anymore and watched
the news rather than play games. Then Rebecca
threw up on my dining room floor which seemed to be an appropriate end to the
day.
