Thanks, Mike:) this city came together immediately to support the victims. It makes me proud to be a Bostonian. We are usually known for being hard-assed, unfriendly, unapproachable rough people. As someone who is from the city I see how quickly that is proven untrue in times of need. Within hours, the restaurant that I work at organized a benefit in which all liquor and food purveyors, as well as employees donated their time for a fundraiser to help the families affected. A silent auction is involved, and businesses in the area, as well as personal donors showed an outpouring of wanting to be involved. It's great to see such unity, love and kindness. This is happening all over the city. People wanted to help as soon as they heard of the tragedy. It's been pretty emotional here- I knew the family of the young boy who is no longer with us. They are a very well known and loved family in their community. Lots of prayers for his sister and mother who were both injured, and his father who ran the marathon. Such a senseless tragedy.

Ours prayers are with all those affected by this tragedy ... and I pray for the sick individual/s responsible ... what a miserable life to live without love, to live with hate in your heart every day, to be able to harm others without conscience or care ... ... ... this act was 'evil' at it's ugliest ...
May God bless and comfort those in pain and mourning ...
