Today, on the anniversary of so many other terrible days, we're watching another one unfold.
Here's to everyone who got up and went to work anyway this morning.
Here's to everyone who explained to their children.
Here's to everyone who revered the flag enough to use it as a tourniquet.
Here's to everyone who waited to hear the truth.
Here's to everyone whose waiting ended with terrible news.
Here's to everyone who wondered how they were going to walk the dog.
Here's to everyone who knows all the lyrics.
Here's to everyone who is still singing.
Here's to everyone.
*I can't find any of my Boston hats so I went with the lobster tee.
amen.
