Martin Richard, 8 years old, was celebrating with his family at the Boston Marathon, held on Patriots Day, which commemorates the first battles of the American Revolution, at Concord and Lexington in 1775.
The 26.2 mile race also honored the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting with a special mile marker and with the correlation of 26 school victims and 26 miles.
To Martin’s parents, family, and community: the stillbirthday community grieves with you. This beautiful boy died, on a battle ground, honoring his country. The tears splash down as I heartaching choke the words “I’m just, so very sorry.”
Martin Richard, we remember you.
