It's really been so sad to see all the photos, thinking we were just there in the summer.<br /><br />Nappy - yes, a lot of comparisons have been made to NYC after 9/11, and I can definitely see that resilience. <br /><br />Trish-Thank you. Even though it's been years since I've lived there, I've always felt a special connection. It surprised me a bit how strongly I felt when I heard the news.MsCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03623997911568143459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551977354338403876.post-56250339727799105712013-04-17T14:55:09.143+01:002013-04-17T14:55:09.143+01:00This is a beautiful, heartfelt post, Carolyne.

Ties to a place can come from many sources: I think your attachment to Boston is very understandable. <br />Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119443727504215312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551977354338403876.post-30887584290300909722013-04-17T13:42:24.066+01:002013-04-17T13:42:24.066+01:00Such an awful thing to happen to a city.

I've been there twice, and had a really good vibe from the place - as you say, I'm sure it is a resilient city and will come back stronger from this. New York certainly has done from 9/11. nappy valley girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788949037047084412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551977354338403876.post-18799575556876715212013-04-17T12:09:49.784+01:002013-04-17T12:09:49.784+01:00Beautiful writing Caroline.

It is really hard to explain what places can mean to rootless people - so hard for those who stay and put those roots down to understand that even a few days, months or years can be very powerful for those of us who move so often. Your prayers will probably be needed for quite a while to come, and I know that they are felt.

Beautiful post, Carolyne. I have been praying for emotional, spiritual and physical healing for the people of Boston. It's going to take a while and it's going to take all three. Thank you for sharing.
