Boston Marathon Bombing 2013

The Boston bombing was truly horrific. It's so sad for all of our country. I'm so glad that the amazing first responders, doctors, and nurses saved a 100 wounded people. That's truly amazing.

Please take a look at the videos if you haven't already and see if you can identify the FBI's suspects: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/national/boston-marathon-explosions-map/index.html

And if you can, give blood! We're planning our next appointment soon.

Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting 2012

We were so deeply saddened by the horrific loss of so many lives this Friday in Newtown, Connecticut. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the 20 children and 7 adults who were killed and the community of Newtown. Everyone I know has cried again and again for the families. My friends and I are of the age when some of us understand personal loss, and some of us understand what it means to be a parent. The loss of a child is an unspeakable horror. I hope that our country does whatever it takes to protect our children in the future.
