Dear World, a love letter from Boston marathon bombing survivors.

Dear Survivors, When we asked you to return to the finish line, a place that changed your lives, we knew it wouldn’t be easy. You told us some days are harder than others, but that it’s okay to have bad days. Mostly, you told us about the goodness of others.
