Family of 8-year-old boy killed in Boston bombings share first picture of his sister who lost a leg when she was able to return home at last

Grinning confidently as she shows off her new prosthetic leg, seven-year-old Jane Richard is the picture of determination in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

The little sister of eight-year-old Martin Richard - the youngest victim of the Boston bombings - today revealed her inspirational recovery as her family broke their silence to speak out about their loss.

Exactly four months since losing their son, Bill and Denise Richard, from Dorchester, Massachusetts, said that they still feel the agony of Martin's death every hour of every day.

But they added that they are inspired by the bravery of little Jane, who lost a leg and needed 12 surgeries after she was hit by the blast as she cheered on runners at the finish line with her family.

They released the heartwarming photograph showing Jane smiling as she stands on her new leg, which she uses with the help of crutches.

When she was discharged from hospital a few weeks ago, the family returned home for the first time since April 15; they had made a pact not to sleep there until the family could return together.

'As so many things have been, returning home without Martin certainly made that important milestone bittersweet, but we know he was with us, as he is every moment of every day,' the family said in a statement released on Thursday.
