I feel like I ought to have something insightful to say on the anniversary of the terrorist attacks–but I really don’t.  Most of the things I would say, other people have said better.  I especially like what a local woman–Cathy Faughnan from Lafayette–said about it.  Cathy lost her husband in the Twin Towers that day.  She says “the hole never goes away, but life gets bigger around it.”

In many ways–MOST ways, I think–we have recovered.  But I hope our recovery doesn’t dull the memory of the day, especially the memory of the heroic acts of ordinary people.
