A
A
Amber
was
running
the
Boston
Marathon
and
Leo
and
I
went
to
the
finish
line
to
watch
her.
We
happen
to
be
in
front
of
the
forum
restaurant
from
the
second
bomb
that
needed
the
only
thing
I
cared
about
was
Leo.
Was
he
okay
I
checked
on
him?
He
was.
He
was
conscious.
That's
when
I
realized,
I
couldn't
move
a
good
Samaritan
came
to
me
and
asked
if
he
could
help
us.
I
I
had
to
just
put
my
trust
in
him
complete
stranger
to
take
my
child
out
of
there,
because
there
was
nothing
I
could
do.
A
I
mean
amber.
She
had
to
make
her
way
back
to
the
finish
line
and
she
spent
about
two
and
a
half
hours
trying
to
find
the
two
of
us.
She
found
Leo
first
and
then
found
me.
She
said
Leo
I,
he's
old,
he's,
fine,
he's
alive,
he's
fine
he's
at
Children's
Hospital
and
after
that,
I
was
like
I
to
me:
I,
don't
care
everything's,
whatever
happens!
Next,
that's
fine
because
he's
alive.
A
Leo
and
I
like
to
do
just
about
everything
together,
steamed
fishing,
there
were
moments,
I
thought
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
share.
You
know
these
activities
with
my
son
exercise
has
just
been
a
continual
confidence
builder.
Over
the
past
five
years,
I've
really
become
passionate
about
biking
I
like
everything
about
riding
it's,
it's
basically,
freedom.
It's
just
a
good
way
to
go
blow
off
steam.
I
had
a
lot
of
really
good
mentors.
Some
of
them
were
wounded
veterans.
They
really
taught
me
to
get
to
a
place
like
this.
You
kind
of
have
a
gift.
A
You
can't
just
keep
that
it's
best
to
give
it
away
to
someone
else
about
three
years
ago,
I
started
volunteering
for
the
Spalding
adaptive
sports
program.
You
know
I
gained
a
lot
of
perspective
on
what
my
abilities
could
be.
I
was
skiing.
With
this,
this
father
and
son
skied,
with
him
all
day
this
particular
afternoon
and
at
the
end
of
the
day
on
the
bus
ride
home,
the
participants
said
to
his
dad.
A
He
said
dad
thanks
for
taking
me,
skiing
I
had
a
really
great
day,
and
that
was
that
just
made
my
year
right
there
and
that
that's
what
it's
all
about,
we've
been
through
a
lot
over
the
pack
battled
through
you
know,
learning
to
walk
again,
PTSD
depression,
where
did
five
years
ago,
but
I
know
where
it's
gone.
It's
gone
to
living
where
I
mean
we're
living
our
lives.
To
see
he'll
be
a
happy
normal
kid.
It's
not
magic,
but
it
almost
seems
like
it
Leo's
my
biggest
hero
that
experience
from
April
15th.
A
B
B
Thanks
everyone
for
joining
us
here
this
morning
to
the
survivors,
the
friends,
the
families,
everyone
who
lost
somebody
they
love.
We
want
to
say
thank
you
for
sharing
this
day
with
us
and
telling
a
story,
as
you
just
saw,
Steve
asked
the
question
that
many
of
us
have
been
asking
ourselves.
We
did
five
years
ago.
B
These
years
have
been
full
and
filled
with
hard
work
in
the
hard
work
of
healing
this
survivor
community
has
built
an
unbreakable
bonds
of
friendship,
they've
created
a
movement
of
solidarity
and
hope.
That's
literally
changing
the
world,
as
Steve
said
these
years
have
gone
to
living.
The
only
way
to
move
forward
is
one
step
at
a
time.
B
Over
the
last
five
years
we
have
witnessed
the
unbelievable
resilience
of
the
survivors
and
the
grace
of
everyone
who
lost
the
son,
a
daughter,
a
sister,
a
brother,
a
niece
and
nephew
a
grandchild
or
a
close
friends.
It's
a
tight-knit
community
founded
on
the
compassion
and
understanding
for
many
it's
a
new
kind
of
family
on
April
15
2013,
our
city
changed
forever,
but
over
the
last
five
years,
we've
reclaimed
hope,
we've
reclaimed.
The
finish
line
and
Boston
has
emerged
with
a
new
strength,
a
resilience
rooted
in
love.
B
This
survivor
community
has
mobilized
our
entire
city.
It
was
an
outpouring
in
the
following
days
following
the
tragedy
from
the
one
fund
to
neighborhood
vigils.
Our
city
discovered
the
depths
of
our
common
purpose
for
the
last
five
years.
It's
persistent
and
one
of
the
most
it's
one
of
the
most
powerful
things
that
I
have
ever
witnessed.
B
The
Merrythought
itself
has
become
a
movements,
no
matter
who
we're
rooting
on.
Everyone
knows
that
we're
really
cheering
the
same
thing.
So
the
question
now
is
not
where
the
five
years
gone.
The
question
is:
where
do
we
go
from
here
every
year,
every
day
it's
a
victory,
but
on
the
road
to
recovery,
we'll
still
have
a
long
way
to
go.
This
is
something
that
all
the
survivors
will
carry
for
the
rest
of
their
lives.
B
We
need
to
make
sure
that
they
know
that
they're,
not
alone.
We
need
to
cheer
them
on
every
single
day.
We
need
them
to
learn.
We
need
to
learn
from
their
courage
and
honor
them
and
spreading
kindness,
normal
hurting
people,
peace
as
little
man
Richard
said
on
April
15th
will
be
forever
one
Boston
day
at
City
ye
called
to
service.
The
response
has
been
bigger
than
with
ever
ever
imagined
soon,
we'll
have
a
beautiful
public
markers
designed
by
the
families
as
permanent
monuments
here
on
Boylston
Street.
B
So
where
will
we
be
five
years
from
now
or
ten,
when
Henry
and
Jane
are
all
grown
up?
It's
hard
to
say,
but
I
do
know
that
we're
only
getting
stronger.
The
survivor
community
has
proven.
Boston
has
a
light
that
can
never
be
put
out
in
F
day
after
day,
one
step
at
a
time
we
keep
going.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
sharing
your
strength
in
this
day
with
all
of
us.
Thank
you
for
showing
the
meaning
of
resilience.
C
C
C
C
C
C
B
Over
the
last
five
years,
I've
had
the
honor
of
getting
to
know
many
of
the
survivors,
including
many
of
you
here
today
in
a
moment
I'm
going
to
invite
one
special
person
of
that
community.
Up
here
to
join
me.
I've
had
the
chance
to
watch
two
of
those
young
people
from
Dorchester,
Henry
and
Jane
go
out
there,
absolutely
incredible
people.
B
D
Good
morning,
sportsmanship
inclusion,
kindness
and
peace
are
the
pillars
that
our
foundations
mission
in
a
name
are
honored
by
Martin
are
found
upon
growing
up
on
croutha
Street
in
Dorchester
these
weren't
just
words
of
words
or
pillars
for
a
mission
statement.
They
were
the
principles
and
actions
ingrained
in
our
daily
life.
From
the
lessons
we
learned
from
our
parents,
from
our
friends
parents
and
from
our
neighbors
we
may
not
have
known
then
that
when
Martin
would
rearrange
the
team
before
we
started
playing
that
he
was
displaying
a
sense
of
sportsmanship
and
fairness
to
us.
D
That
was
just
Martin
and
it
made
all
the
games
fun.
We
didn't
know
that
social
justice
was
what
we
learned
when
we
marched
with
Tina
cherry
and
all
the
moms
in
a
call
for
peace
in
our
neighborhood.
We
just
knew
it
was
the
right
thing
to
do.
We
didn't
know
that
when
we
painted
banners
for
Dorchester
day
in
our
driveway,
when
with
our
neighbors
that
we
were
building
community,
we
we
just
thought
that's
what
everyone
did
on
a
Friday
night.
D
We
didn't
know
that
on
April
15th
2013,
when
our
family
came
downtown
to
watch
our
track
coach
compete
in
one
of
the
world's
most
celebrated
marathons,
that
our
lives
will
be
changed
forever,
but
we
know
now.
In
the
past
five
years
we
have
seen
and
met
more
and
more
people
who
grew
up
like
us
learning
how
to
stand
up,
show
up
and
take
action
than
we
ever
could
have
expected.
D
D
There
were
our
foundation,
we
engage
our
community
and
we
empower
peers
to
do
more
programs.
My
sister
and
I
are
proud
to
chair
the
youth
board
of
directors
of
the
March
and
Martin
Richard
foundation,
along
with
Martin's
classmates
and
some
close
friends.
It
is
a
bittersweet
journey
for
all
of
us,
but
Martin
still
inspires
us
to
make
life
more
fair
and
fun
for
everyone.
Good
luck
to
all
of
our
runners
from
they
are
the
ambassadors
of
our
movement,
and
we
couldn't
be
more
proud
of
all.
D
E
E
But
a
deep
wellspring
of
love
and
humanity
was
flowing
beneath
Boylston
Street
and
the
neighborhoods
of
Boston
and
Watertown,
and
it
bursts
forth
that
day
with
a
force
and
a
beauty
that
continues
to
carry
us
into
places.
We
could
not
have
imagined
on
Marathon
Monday
2013
I'd,
like
to
just
share
a
brief
story
that
this
really
just
fully
impacted
me
in
this
incredible
journey
that
I
have
been
privileged
to
share
these
past
five
years
in
August
of
2013,
a
boy
from
Hiroshima
Japan
named
Kido
arrived
in
Boston
with
his
dad,
and
he
had
come
first.
E
All
the
way
from
Hiroshima
to
bring
our
community
comfort
and
I
will
never
forget
that
moment
of
meeting
Kido
and
his
dad
and
then
their
request
that
they
have
an
opportunity
to
comment
to
Boylston,
Street
and
as
I
stood
there
with
Kido
and
on
that
place
where
our
hearts
broke.
There
was
a
moment
transformed
for
me
of
this
tremendous
outpouring
of
love
that
has
already
reached
across
all
the
way
to
this
child
in
Japan,
and
he
had
gathered
his
friends
to
make
all
these
cranes
and
was
already
responding.
E
It's
really
quite
extraordinary,
I
think
for
those
of
us
who
have
lived
this
these
past
five
years.
We've
come
to
understand
that
something
has
happened
here
in
Boston.
That
is
really
quite
extraordinary
and
it
continues
to
build
it
wasn't
just
in
that
moment
in
the
days
and
weeks
after,
but
it
has
continued,
it
had
deep
roots
and
has
continued
to
endure
and
to
grow
and
to
carry
us
forward.
E
The
two
short
videos
that
we'll
play
in
a
few
moments,
as
well
as
the
one
that
opened
our
program,
are
a
snapshot
a
window
if
you
will
into
the
path
of
recovery
and
healing
and
hope
that
continues
to
point
us
forward
in
Boston
and
throughout
the
country
and
the
world,
each
person
who
was
impacted
could
easily
have
been
the
subject
of
his
or
her
own.
Video
I
know
this,
as
so.
E
Many
of
you
have
so
graciously
allowed
us
all
of
us
to
be
a
part
of
your
lives
over
these
past
five
years
and
as
we
are
gathered
here
today,
I
could
not
let
this
day
pass
without
remembering
three
members
of
our
community,
whose
lives
continue
to
inspire
us
with
courage
in
the
face
of
adversity
and
selfless
love
for
the
sake
of
the
well-being
of
others,
Mayor
Menino,
Victoria,
McGrath
and
Kevin
white.
Your
leadership,
your
compassion
and
your
friendship
will
be
forever
a
source
of
inspiration
for
us
all.
May
you
rest
in
peace.
E
F
F
The
day
I
checked
out
of
the
hospital
I
had
to
learn
to
walk
again.
I
would
heal
a
little
bit
and
then
have
another
surgery,
and
then
God
heard
that
process
all
over
again
so
for
months,
I
kind
of
I
felt
very
lonely
and
isolated.
I
started
going
back
to
the
gym.
I
was
on
the
elliptical
a
lot
just
trying
to
get
my
strength
up
and
then
I
slowly
moved
to
the
treadmill
by
April
of
2014.
F
G
Drum
was
simply
a
group
of
folks
that
got
together
after
the
Marathon
bombings
and
we
used
we
used
running
as
a
way
to
begin
to
heal.
Together.
It
really
is
the
power
of
a
peer-to-peer
relationship.
We
saw
when
the
Marines
came
to
visit
us
in
the
hospitals
in
the
rehab
centers.
We
saw
it
again
with
the
survivor
community
coming
together
in
Boston.
G
You
reach
a
point
in
your
healing
process,
where
you
want
to
help
others,
it's
good
for
you,
it's
good
for
the
person
you're
connecting
with,
and
we
saw
that
we
saw
it
working
with
different
communities,
and
it
was
folks
in
Boston
that
for
15,
strong
community
wanting
to
reach
out
to
help
others
and
that's
the
roots
of
what
then
became
one
world
strong.
Maybe.
F
You
have
people
in
your
own
community
and
that's
extremely
helpful,
but
I
think
it's
really
powerful
when
you
start
having
people
from
other
communities
kind
of
starting
to
hold
hands
and
reaching
across
oceans.
I.
Think
for
me,
the
first
little
glimpse
of
it
was
in
2015
when
I
was
in
France
after
the
attack
at
the
Bataclan
and
I
was
at
the
memorial
and
I
just
kept
thinking.
What
can
I
do
to
help
these
people
I
lost.
H
F
Get
excited
to
talk
to
George,
it
makes
me
happy
and
makes
me
feel
less
alone.
It
makes
me
feel
like
what
I
went
through
wasn't
for
nothing,
it's
almost
an
instant
bond,
you
don't
even
know
these
people
and
because
the
trauma
is
the
same
and
maybe
a
gun
versus
a
bomb,
but
it's
still
trauma
it's
still
terror
and
there's
just
this
unspoken.
F
G
Have
people
from
the
7/7
bombings
in
London
and
will
be
traveling
with
us
this
summer
to
other
places,
we've
had
folks
from
the
Orlando
community
travel
with
us
to
Las
Vegas
we've
been
to
Manchester
to
Paris
we're
working
with
people
in
Nice
now
and
that
that
connection
that's
made
with
somebody
is
so
powerful
for
the
person.
That's
just
experienced
the
trauma
as
it
is
for
somebody
five
years
from
theirs.
You.
I
F
Doing
it
to
help
other
people
and
just
set
a
good
example
for
my
son,
so
that
someday,
when
I,
have
to
explain
to
him
that
a
bad
person
hurt
his
mom.
That
I
can
also
teach
him
just
because
life
hands
you
something
horrible,
you
don't
have
to.
Let
it
consume
you
and
you
can
turn
around
and
do
something
good
with
it.
J
Boston
as
a
whole,
you
just
get
a
feeling
of
pride
to
be
from
Boston
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Dorchester.
It's
definitely
in
my
blood.
I
have
been
a
police
offer
since
2010
just
almost
seven
years
on
the
street.
My
relationship
with
the
Lu
family
started
immediately
after
the
Boston
Marathon
bombing
I
wanted
Lindsey's
family
to
know
that
she
wasn't
alone
that
you
know
the
day
that
she
left
us
I.
Think
about
Lindsey
all
the
time,
depending
on
where
I'm
driving
in
the
city,
especially
around
BU
on
Boylston,
Street,
I,
know.
J
K
K
She
started
piano
wishes,
look
how
young
she
was
yeah
and
she
was
very
good.
She
laughed
the
sugar
means
it
was
born
China.
She
always
want
to
someday,
come
to
United
States
to
study,
so
she
had
prepared
all
her
life
actually
to
come
here.
She
literally
loved
Boston.
One
time
she
told
me
auntie
Boston,
every
corner,
you
turn
you
see
is
a
picture.
J
K
Personally,
I
fell,
Boston
is
such
a
tight
community
and
when
this
tragedy
happened,
I
fell.
The
people
get
together
really
quick
over
the
past
five
years.
Just
so
much
good
things
come
out
of
it.
You
feel
faster
than
people
the
victims
and
survivors,
the
healing
together,
and
they
grown
stronger
together.

Again,
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
coming
today.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
shared
their
stories
today,
and
everyone
whose
story
has
not
yet
been
told
today
is
one
Boston
day
in
the
in
the
state
of
Massachusetts.
Today
is
for.
All
of
you
today
is
for
everyone.
We
lost
John
Lennon's
telling
me
to
stop
talking.
B
You've
all
done
so
much
for
our
city
before
I.
Go
I'd
like
to
ask
one
more
thing
of
all
of
you
continue
to
build
this
movement
that
you've
started.
Tell
people
about
one
Boston
day
tell
them
that
there's
no
active
kind
is
too
small
that
wouldn't
have
made
Martin
lingzi
Sean
crystal
and
Denis,
proud
tell
them
that.
There's
no
act
of
kindness,
too
small
that
wouldn't
make
you
proud,
keep
going
and
know
that
your
entire
city
will
always
stand
with
you.
God
bless
you
and
God
bless
the
City
of
Austin.
