April 22, 2013, just seven days after the terrible events in Boston...it hardly seems possible. A week of horror, disbelief and confusion. There was a bright spot in the middle of the week for me, when I came home to discover a USO package on my doorstep. I could have been knocked over with a feather. Flowers from Brendan! Gorgeous, unique patriotic white roses tinted blue and red. They had the appearance of colored tissue paper once they were in full bloom. I took them to work so I could enjoy them all day. Early Mother's Day present? Late Christmas gift? Doesn't matter, it was a floral hug from the other side of the world during a week of distress and sorrow.
