And It Just Goes To Show, You Can't Trust Anything

Since the bombs first went off on April 15th, 2013, Boston has been a constant topic of discussion. Updates on the city are being spread and shared instantly. Stories of victims, families and friends who were involved in the run that day are being uncovered and told.

Tuesday morning, I heard a heart breaking story of a man who was at the Boston Marathon. He was at the finish line, cheering on his girl friend who he hoped would cross the finish line soon so that he could propose. As she neared the end, however, the bombs went off.

And that was it. He rushed to her side and held her in his arms, but nothing could be done. She was one of the three that died.

I heard that story, and I believed that story. That was, until, Wednesday afternoon. I was talking to a friend who suddenly mentioned, "by the way....did you hear that engagement story was false?"

"What," I said, "who would make up such a thing?" I soon found out that many of the stories that had been circulating about the marathon were, in fact, made up. I came across this article that shed light on a number of situations. It made me sick to think that some of the things I so easily believed were completely false.

It just goes to show you can't trust anything.
