like most around us, my heart is heavy on this day, hearing the stories of families so acutely affected by this tragedy. hats off to these two very generous families for turning grief into hope on behalf of others. bless them!
I am deeply moved by these inspirational people. Truely examples of the human spirit at its best.
Well, I started the day confident that I could finally make it through this anniversary without dissolving in tears, but I had not counted on your wonderful interview with the Aldermans and Goodriches. Of all the frustrations I feel about our current role and activities in the world, I am most distressed that we have been unable (or, in some quarters, unwilling) to convey to those cultures to which we are cyphers our extraordinary capacity for understanding and forgiveness and our unlimited desire to reach out to those who are suffering, as demonstrated so brilliantly and profoundly by these families and their efforts.
