Today

Monday. 

Today would have been Buddy and Barbara's 41st wedding anniversary. Buddy always used to joke that they were married on Tax Day and he always paid all of his dues on the same day. 

Today my friend Melanie lost her battle with liver cancer, leaving behind her husband Tim and their two young children.

Today explosions rocked Boston during the Boston Marathon, killing some and injuring others. 

Today I tried to enjoy time with my kids in light of all of this, and they challenged my patience more than usual with homework and bedtime.

Today has been hard.

I'm encouraged by this quote from C.S. Lewis today: "There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind." 

My family, my friends, the runners and their families, and the people of Boston are all in my prayers tonight.
