   Wow Sarah, this was beautiful.
   You know of course it hurts more to the ones who actually lost someone they loved that day, but it has a phenomenal affect on the rest of us. I was just thinking on Monday that I find myself feeling anxious this time of year and I wonder if this day has anything to do with that. We all were affected in some way by Sept 11 as you well know, as everyone knows. I think you captured that well here. Great job.

   hi kim,
   yes, we were all affected, whether because someone we loved was hurt or lost or just because our country was hurt. i too feel myself go through some anxiety whenever september rolls around and i think it certainly is connected to september 11th.

   i also think that that day defies description, it dares us to put into words what it did to us and perhaps even the rest of the world. it may be why we continue year after year to put it into words - as though by doing so we can put it to rest in our minds and hearts. i wonder if we ever really will.

   I feel indignant when I remember, and saddened too. All those promising lives…Justice will come.

   hi tom,
   i think it will come too. it will be a while, perhaps a long while, but it will come.
