Remembering

We will not forget

"The moment to spend with a husband who loves me, or a sick friend, or a delicious new grandchild is here and now.  Not some time later....  The nation learned this lesson all at once that horrible day in September 2001.  The pictures stay with us--the fires and falling debris, and, most hauntingly, the faces.  Look how young so many of them were, people who thought there would be much more time, a lot of 'later' when they could do all the things they really wanted to do.  I grieve for their families--especially for those.....who haven't found any traces of the people they loved.  But I grieve even more for the people who died that day.  They couldn't know what we know now about the precious gift of time."
