Wow, what a fantastic read. Thanks for sharing it, Mellow.
Amazingly it reminds me of many of my thoughts when I was in Annapolis, Md 30 or so miles from DC, welcoming my first grandchild into the world. He was born 2 days before the attack on the Pentagon. I took the train out of DC home a week later. It was like a war zone.
I felt such a sense of shame....and responsiblitity for what had happened.
My heart broke for my young grandson's birthday.
As a southern woman, these comments are especially powerful to me.
