That Day

[libertango]

9/11/2002 -- the first anniversary, with some interesting images to remember.

9/11/2003 -- the other 9/11, with the killing of Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh. I've written more recent memories about Anna.

9/11/2004 -- the first year I posted this:

*^*^*

eleanor lost a piece of her sky, and will never again hear thunderstorms with the joy she once had. Today I honor Ellie, and offer what comfort I may.

A chain of events began that would allow the Administration to rationalize sending pecunium to Iraq, to return damaged enough to require months of hospitalization (in- and out- patient). Today I honor my brother Terry (regardless of genetics), courageous, loyal, and true.

These are the stories I know. I know, too well, that there are others. As someone who lost a father when he was seven, it's the children left behind for whom I grieve the most.

Salaam.
Shalom.
Aloha.
Peace...

...be upon our brothers and sisters, our friends and lovers, our fathers, our mothers, our children, this day.

To this day, I cannot speak about that day. So I'm always grateful when someone else can. Thank you.
