Today in Boston

Dear Boston,
Yesterday was a nightmare, a shattering of lives and bodies. Yesterday there was terror and pain and heartache. Yesterday the whole nation stood back and observed with horror.
Today, Boston, today we recognize the loss. We recognize the heroes. We recognize the pain. Today we remember why we are One Nation, indivisible. Today we forget we are Republican or Democrat, Christian or Muslim, young or old, immigrant or native. Today we hold each other's hands. Today we stand together to support the weight of sorrow.
Yesterday in Boston there were people who died, were injured and who escaped without a scratch.
Today in Boston we mourn the losses.
Tomorrow, Boston, we will rise again.
