That one day galvanizes us—we all remember what we were doing. It’s like my mom’s generation when Kennedy was shot. That same, I’ll never forget the day when… Thanks for the validation re: pictures. I remember one other thing from that day too. It was the first day I ever really truly felt like I wanted to have kids. Did you? And yes that was kind of your co-worker. A lot of kindness that day.

i would have taken pictures too.

Bryan forwarded me your comment on facebook, so thank you for that and this lovely comment, and the suggestion for the book, which I admit intrigues me. So glad to know my words moved you. I really appreciate your kind comment. All the best!

I’m a friend of Bryan’s from DLA Piper! What beautiful words you use! Seriously, they brought tears to my eyes while I was reading this. You are a beautiful writer and I believe you should write a book for your kids (and all of our kids) about the world!
