As I went about my day on Monday, I made sure to keep up with the goings-on of the Boston Marathon through Twitter.  However, I wasn't expecting to have tears rolling down my face because of a series of pictures.

These tears were not because I was sad or mad or angry.  The tears were because these photos proved not only what the Boston Marathon is all about, to me, they defined #BostonStrong. Thank you to @WesleyLowery for allowing me to share his photos and words.  Let me know what you think!

@WesleyLowery - But his legs just couldn't do it.  The group struggled a few feet.  Another man stopped to help and a woman.

@WesleyLowery - Determined, the two new saviors lifted his legs. He had just a few hundred feet to go. They would get him there.

@WesleyLowery - The crowd exploded into loudest cheer I've heard today. Walking, then jogging, they all, all 5, finished the race.

@WesleyLowery - Runner falls just short of the finish. Four others pick him up and carry him. I'm literally in tears
