Yesterday in Boston there was an event simply called Tribute.
Some of it can be heard here:

Elsewhere other tributes have been offered:

Thank you for posting these. The second link, "One Year, One City" with the interactive photo was very moving to me.

There are people all over the world who hold the people of Boston in their hearts, and wish them recovery from that horror. I know I do.

"...That's why Burfoot has been pushing his 67-year-old bones up and down hills past few months. He wants to say a 26.1-mile thank you to the people of Hopkington, Ashland, Natick and the other towns along the marathon route.

"They appreciate us like no other," Burfoot said. "Other races have a lot spectators, but Boston has a history and they all want to be a part of it." ..."

The 3rd week of April... I almost dread clicking over to the news feeds during this period. All I can do is hope this will be a quiet year.
