In Memory

Photo taken by me in January 2004.

In honor and memory of the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center. It's overwhelming to think how many people died on that fateful morning, and how many people mourn their passing. Having lived here in New York City for the past six years, it's easy to imagine that any of those people could have been one of my friends or coworkers. I hope that all may take this as a day to remember how important it is that we put forth kindness in our daily lives, that we help and serve others and not just ourselves, as our life on earth may be short and you never know how much time you have to make a positive impact on the future....

God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.

The World Trade Center Memorial Lights as seen from our window.

It seems strange to comment on such an event, as I was a distant stranger to New York when it happened. But the lights are catching and serve as a reminder...that our memory is there so that those that have past may be kept alive for us in the present. Something to think about each day, not just on the anniversary of a great tragedy.
