Remembering 9/11 ... for me I still remember with shock the person who told me to go and turn on the TV ... and the image I saw of the burning building, made worse a couple of minutes later by seeing the second plane hit.
May those who died RIP, and those who suffer and mourn find comfort today .... And one day, I pray, that man will learn to live with his fellow man.
