A lot of things going on in Boston right now, someone sent me this photo, I thought I was pretty cool and worth sharing, it's interactive that's why a link and not just posting it.
Nobody wanted to leave. It was almost 9 a.m. on a crisp Sunday. Thousands of photographs had been snapped and there was no reason to stick around on the start of a glorious spring day. Yet there in the middle of Boylston Street, in the exact spot where there had been so much sadness and anguish almost a year ago to the day, now there were smiles, hugs and selfies. Nobody had to be there. They wanted to be there. Maybe even needed to be there.
The Globe had invited them – survivors, police, firefighters, EMTs, doctors, nurses, runners, political figures, store owners, the Boston Athletic Association, Red Sox and Bruins players – to take time out of their weekend for a picture. The response was instant and overwhelming: When and where?
At 7:40 a car pulled up and Celeste Corcoran and her daughter Sydney stepped out. Celeste wore a brown leather jacket, and as she moved about easily on her prosthetic legs, her smile was as bright as the day. Then came the others, runners in sweats, doctors and nurses in scrubs, first responders in uniform, until the street overflowed from sidewalk to sidewalk.
