We have had a lot of news coverage up here in Canada about the anniversary of the Bostom Marathon. My cousin was also in the run last year, and was able to finish the race before anything happened. It is great to see how much GOOD has come out of such a tragedy. Love those ribbon pins you put on the card--perfect touch.Kathryn Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687539899006214572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-494963887089947981.post-80262949465618744852014-04-24T18:53:55.671-04:002014-04-24T18:53:55.671-04:00Donna, love your card - it's so very appropria...Donna, love your card - it's so very appropriate. We had news of the bombing at the time, and again on the anniversary. <br /><br />It's so hard to comprehend that people would do this to other people.<br /><br />On a happy note, the last year has been pretty special for my family. My youngest grandchild has Dravet Syndrome, and we were told to prepare to say goodbye. Instead my daughter put her on Medical Cannabis - she was the first child in Australia to have it - and her life has been saved. Definitely something to rejoice about! <br /><br />Cheryl Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06649774884030889413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-494963887089947981.post-61853688357845730372014-04-24T18:15:16.979-04:002014-04-24T18:15:16.979-04:00What an awesome card just perfect for the race!

I am glad your family was safe though. I guess the most memorable thing for me was learning I was to be a grandmother again this summer. We got a late start on having grandchildren so this is indeed a wonderful thing for us.

You have really developed your skills since we've been commenting on each other's cards on StampTV. I believe the whole country has been Boston Proud and Strong since last year. It's been a tough year for me too since I lost my mom in July but I have my family and always find joy in having my grandchildren. But I guess when you have a down moment in time I try to look for the positives and try to just enjoy each day.

The card is awesome in so many ways. Your thoughtfulness and sincerity, comes thru loud and strong. Glad that your family is safe and I am sure that you hold them a little closer. <br />I am so surprised that you have only been blogging for a year. I got so many tips from you when I build my blog back sometime in fall of 2012. Thank you for that. I have an amazing life, I just can't believe it sometimes. I am so grateful for the kids, grandkids and my husband who has made so many things possible for me these last 20 years. If I had to pick one thing, it was going back to Sicily to the village that my grandparents immigrated from 99 years ago. If they had not left their parents ( they were both only children, never to see them again) I would not be here today and have the life that I have. I am so so grateful to them. It was an emotional day that brought me to tears.

What a tragedy last year. But Boston is Strong and will carry on but remember those who lost their lives last year and those who were injured. They will run this race for them and for themselves. What a great tribute card for them. Love your marathon diva! <br />Many happy things this last year but the best is finding out that I am going to be a grandma for the first time.

So much history in that city, and more was added one year ago! Didn't realized that you started your blog on that fateful day. I have enjoyed your blog so much, you always seem to say something appropriate, or wonderful. Your card is awesome. What a great tribute to those who were effected by that tragic event!<br />I really can't way one thing that has happened this past year that is my favorite. But maybe it would be having our grandsons for a few days at a time, just by themselves. They love it and so do I. Plus, winning the Guest Designer spot has been a high point.<br />Thanks for offering the blog candy, and thanks also for reminding us that the human spirit always wins.Judy Woodlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07884768105767116934noreply@blogger.com
