Joe:
My tears today as well as my prayers were not from joy. They were from a profound knowledge of loss that still affects me. You see, my son (only living child) was scheduled to be there that morning. He was delayed and missed the attack by just a few minutes.
Knowing where he was scheduled to be, I tried, in vain, to contact him. I made contact at eleven AM the next day.
My anguish was almost more than I could stand but was nothing to compare to those that had losses.
Yep, I had tears today as way too many did.
Now, I am taking a break. I wish all good health and all the blessings possible. I leave you with this:
Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like you do when nobody's watching. Life is short. Make it mean something positive.
Best,
John
