Tributes to the Victims in Boston

I know that there have been a lot of posts about Boston Strong and the memorial set up first on Boylston Street and now on Copley Square.

I went to Copley Square Monday and took a few photos I’d like to share with you. There were a lot of people when I was there around 12:30pm. People seemed very moved and quiet. Many people were reading the signs, shirts and shoes. I had to keep moving. If I lingered too long and read too much I knew the tears would start. My eyes were wet the entire time I was there.

      The owner of Marathon Sports spoke at my running club tonight. He was there to talk about shoes for our Walk To Run group. He had to stop and take a moment when he was telling us a story about one of his experiences over the past two weeks.
      It’s amazing that no one in that store was killed.
