Answer:
A town to start a nation,
A spirit meant to lead,
So much growth and progress,
But still sometimes we bleed.
Almost from the beginning,
From many became one,
A city built a country,
Amidst the shining sun.
Again we have known sorrow,
A blow straight to our heart,
That brings us back together,
To a place where dreams can start.
So remember those we’re missing,
And wipe away your tears,
And remember this is Boston,
And let our voices cheer.

We just couldn’t locate our daughter for several hours because there were things going on elsewhere along the race route. If you weren’t watching the news or social media, a lot of the people celebrating Marathon Monday didn’t know what had happened until sometime later. The subsequent college lock downs and eventual evacuation as SWAT teams cleared all buildings in the area made for some powerful freshman year memories.
