Once upon a time in a land not so far away, mid-spring in Boston meant cherry blossoms, optimistic  expectations of a pennant and anticipation of summer vacations for young and old alike.

Due to the horrific, and cowardly actions of some of some ignorant animals, lives have been lost, bodies disabled and spirits brutalized.

As the city of Boston braces nervously for the end of this sad episode, so many devastated by the trauma, today all I can give you are my heart words. You are not alone, you are part of a bigger family, and your grief and confusion makes sense.

Love, prayer and optimism for your healing and rebuilding are flowing your way from all over the globe and rather intensely from a little building in San Diego. Know that the love, prayer and support will not go away, ever!

To my family and friends who are securing the streets, healing the wounds and loving on your fellow citizens I am in no way surprised by your bravery and dedication and I AM most proud you.

Nothing and no one can break your spirit.

Friendship, Strength and Honor,

Coach Cris
