When Boston Firefighter Mike Materia first spotted Roseann Sdoia, she was badly hurt from the second blast and was lying in the middle of Boylston Street. But spoiler alert, this is a real-life romance with a storybook ending.
It’s difficult to imagine finding beauty in the tragedy of the Boston Marathon Bombings but that’s the magic behind Mike and Roseann’s story together. For the first time, Boston Firefighter Mike Materia is talking about that day and what led him to fall for this woman he was trying to save.“I noticed that she was cute, instantly when I first met her. When I picked you up off the street on Boylston Street," Mike said with a smile.
There were the early days in the hospital when doctors had to amputate her right leg, above the knee. Roseann spent weeks in recovery. When she left Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, we should have seen the glimmer then when Mike swept her up in big bear hug. But at the time, he was just the steadfast support outside her family. And he was quick to offer he’d help get her to appointments.
The next chapters included a proposal on Nantucket, a wedding on the Cape, and it became apparent all the simple reasons why they loved each other. Mike said his favorite thing about Roseann is easy: “it’s her laugh. I always know where she is. She laughs so much. It's a genuine laugh and it happens a lot.”
