A great story that shows hope and courage out of a horrible tragedy. Jane Richard is 7 and was the sister of the boy killed in the Boston Marathon bombing. She lost her leg in the blast. Her mother also took shrapnel to the head. I've been drawn in to this story as Jane was an avid Irish dancer, much like my kid. She is also about the same age as my kid. Over the past few months, many of the dance schools have gotten together to hold fundraisers for victims of the bombings, including the Richard family. One school requested a t-shirt from every dance school and sewed them into quilts. To see this kid has been able to recover and even trying to dance again is just amazing. Every time I read this, it just warms my heart and shows an example of all that is good in this world. Hopefully the rest of these stories from the tragedy are also told.
