I had this photo montage hanging around on my computer since the attacks two years ago. It serves as a nice reminder that we Americans are not alone in this world. How unfortunate that so much of the good will evidenced in these photographs has been squandered by our current leaders.
Take a walk through these photographs and remind yourselves what it’s like to have friends in the world.
I’m going to do something most Americans aren’t planning to do today, and that is celebrate an anniversary. Unlike the rest of America, I have something wonderful to celebrate today: my wedding anniversary. It was a gorgeously beautiful day on September 11, 1999, and every September 11 since has been equally beautiful, in spite of others’ feeble attempts to ruin it.
I spent a moment yesterday looking at some photographs of my then-bride-to-be. I felt the same giddiness I felt then when our love was just beginning. Last night I shared my feelings with my wife, embracing tenderly as we whispered our love to each other once again.
I am such a lucky man to be Kelly’s husband. Every day is a shared journey filled with happiness. I can think of no better co-pilot than my wonderful wife.
