Bittersweet Taste of Boston Marathon

I witnessed the joy of a Marine with one leg crossing the finish line at the Boston Marathon yesterday. And I saw people praying at the wreaths left to memorialize the places where four people died in 2013. One person I ran into on Marathon Monday had witnessed the carnage and tragedy that happened there four years ago. As the final runners were slowly trickling in around 5pm she said, "I was here four years ago, I'm glad to be leaving now."
