Today marks the 2nd anniversary of the Boston Marathon Bombing. This was a very tragic day in history, not just locally, but globally. Regardless of the Tsarnaev brothers' intentions on why they placed a backpack with a bomb in it at an event with many innocent people attending, it was the wrong decision to what these two were trying to accomplish. I wish for events like this not to happen. I wish for a world of peace. I wish no one would commit actions like these. And I will keep wishing for global peace until we receive it.

However, even in the most tragic of times, our spirits cannot be broken. In the aftermath of this dreadful act of terror, people from around the world brought support to the city of Boston, the bombing victims, and to the families and friends of these victims. It was a great healing process from all those who supported Boston in this heartbreaking and tragic event. I, for one, am grateful for those who aided and supported us in this horrific event. I am especially grateful for the Boston and Watertown Police for their bravery and heroism in their effort to capture Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and bring peace back to the area.

We stand together as one.
