And So It Grows

Twenty-one years ago tomorrow, everything we all thought we knew changed forever. 

For the thousands in the Twin Towers, in the Pentagon, aboard the airplanes, and for their families, friends, and those who attempted rescues and recoveries of them (and all whose lives had been touched by them), somehow, even more changed or disappeared in the clouds of destruction, never to be experienced again. 

Every year my brother, Adam, devotes a month prior to the anniversary of 9/11 to profiling those whose lives' candles flickered and were then blown out. His celebration of their lights makes cursing the darkness of their absence somehow more bearable. 

So, too, does this from Jennifer Senior, in The Atlantic.
