With details surrounding Monday's explosion at the Boston Marathon still developing, the tragedy's scope can be overwhelming. Solace can be found in the acts of decency that grew out of the aftermath of a horrible event:

A Google Docs form was created, giving Boston residents the ability to share their contact information and open up their homes to marathon runners from outside of the area who had nowhere to go.

The Google Doc wasn't the only example of kindness and humanity following the unfathomable tragedy ...

Finally, former New England Patriot Joe Andruzzi was photographed carrying a bystander to safety.
