I grew up in the Midwest with an alchoholic mother, no father and a fiercely independent spirit. At 18, I defied the advice of virtually everyone who should have cared about me and left for school 1,000 miles away. I intended to return home eventually, but a funny thing happened on the way... I ended up in an entirely new city, with an entirely new life, a great job, great friends, an adorable boyfriend and a whole new perspective. I also seem to have acquired a 15 year-old along the way...
An enormous, touching, and heartwarming outpouring of concern from people that I know only through the Internet. I'm OK, as is everyone I know.
I don't have any sense to make of it, but please be aware that the genuine concern coming from all corners of the world really does mean a lot.

i was thinking of you immediately after I heard the news. glad to hear you are ok.
Just came on to check up on you.... Glad you are all ok. Thanks for posting it....
So glad your family is safe!
Thanks for letting us know - you're the only person I 'know' in Boston and immediately was wondering about you guys.
Take care in your fantastic city.
Is it weird that I assumed you were OK? That I assumed that it was people at the marathon finish line who were the only ones injured? Maybe that's bad, but that's why I didn't reach out. Nevertheless, it's always good to hear you're OK anyway.
