The Man in the cowboy hat....
I just finished reading this man's backstory. Utterly tragic, and yet his instinctive reaction yesterday inspires me, too.

A perfect Marathon day, then the unimaginable - The Boston Globe
This is how bad this is. I went out Monday night and bumped into some firefighters I know. They said one of the dead was an 8-year-old boy from Dorchester who had gone out to hug his dad after he crossed the finish line. The dad walked on; the boy went back to the sidewalk to join his mom and his little sister. And then the bomb went off. The boy was killed. His sister’s leg was blown off. His mother was badly injured. That’s just one family, one story.
Unimaginable.
