Boston, you are my home. Six years ago I left my quiet town in Connecticut for the excitement of the big city. And even in the midst of such tragedy, there is nowhere else I would rather be.
Boston, you gave me the college experience of a lifetime. You gave me an education both inside, and outside of the classroom.
Boston, you gave me my best friends, my sisters, the women I will one day call my bridesmaids.
Boston, you gave me the love of my life.
Boston, you gave me my first job, my first glimpse of adulthood.
Boston, you gave me a team and a town to cheer for. Always the underdog, but never defeated.
Boston, you gave me my first apartment, a chance to make it on my own.
Boston, you gave me a city.
Boston, you gave me a home.
