From the article: The father of Martin William Richard today said he is trying to both grieve the death of his 8-year-old son, who was killed at the Boston Marathon bombings, and help his wife and daughter recover from injuries they suffered during the terrorist attack on Monday. My dear son Martin has died from injuries sustained in the attack on Boston. My wife and daughter are both recovering from serious injuries, Bill Richard said in a statement released this afternoon. We thank our family and friends, those we know and those we have never met, for their thoughts and prayers. I ask that you continue to pray for my family as we remember Martin....As word spread among the many friends and acquaintances of the Richard family, people stopped by the familys home, some leaving flowers, some balloons, and some leaving stuffed animals on the front porch, all adding to the makeshift memorial...Aguilar said he last spoke with the family on Easter Sunday when they were gathered outside, enjoying the day. Today he noticed that the children had drawn butterflies and flowers with chalk on their driveway. Today, the chalk remained where the children had left it.

God bless this family. My heart aches for them.
Little Wing
Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven’s love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
and fly again.
Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far to beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem’ry bittersweet
Until we meet.
Fly, fly do not fear
Don’t waste a breath, don’t shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don’t wait for me
Above the universe you’ll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won’t forget
Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light

It’s been one day. How about the media not put their microphones in people’s faces and let them grieve in private.

God is holding you in His loving arms, little fellow. Your bright smile is a new star in the heavens.
My God, my God. Kids do not deserve to be exposed to such evil as that which took this young life.
