Don,

Your song struck a chord close to home. A good friend of mine and former co-worker ran Boston that year, she'll be running it again this year for the 4th time. She was approaching the finish line but for the Grace of God she was not close enough to be injured. Her 3 children and husband were also near the finish line where they were sitting in spectator bleachers all escaped without any visible injuries. Hard to say what long term trauma the children may suffer later in life. For many years may wife and I were also a spectators at the finish line of the marathon we were not there that year. Nevertheless thank you for taking the time to compose that tune.
