Dear People of Boston,

I’m sorry people let off bombs in your town. If I could go back and stop the bombs I would. I’m sorry you have to deal with all of this. I know this was not expected for the bombs to happen.  Special people in your lives were killed. I was scared to run my 5K but now I’m not. Scary things happen with so much unexpected notice.  People got killed left and right. 

I’m sorry for Martin because he was so young.  To die at the age of eight years old is hard to imagine and I’m sure extremely difficult for his family.  They must struggle and have problems and don’t have a lot of excitement for birthday parties.  So sorry Boston, with all the moms and dads and kids and other people getting hurt.  I hope it does not happen again.  I wish that you had a chance to say goodbye to loved ones or friends and family. 

I’m just sorry to hear that the bombs happened and killed and angered people. Sorry for people in Boston.  Hope now everything is going on good and everything is safe for you. I’m very, very sorry.

Love,
Haven, age 8
