…Peggy Noonan has written an excellent article on 9-11. She includes many stories of people who left messages and talked to loved ones for the last time. It’s a tear-jerker. Reading these stories always makes me want to hug my parents before they leave the house - I never know when it’ll be the last!
…Agent Tim has had an excellent post on history and why it’s important to continually remember the past. He says,
[History] is the very thing that makes our lives as they are, explains why we are as we are, and helps us in learning about who we can become. Without history, our nation would be nothing – lessons of the past would not lead to wise decisions. The United States would be farther down the slippery slope than it is today without history, which cannot and must not be ignored.
Amen – and we can never forget what happened on 9-11.

I know that I can never forget 9/11. My family was concerned about my Uncle Pat who works in DC, so we were so relieved to hear that he was fine. That day actually helped me start journaling again after a pause in my writing.
