Some joy on a very sad day

 

I do not believe there is anything I can say about this 19th anniversary of the bombings at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Shanksville, PA that tragically ended nearly 3000 lives prematurely. It is simply a very sad day.

So instead, I spent some time this morning looking through pictures posted by Striar Hebrew Academy, where our younger daughter teaches and our two youngest grandchildren are students. It is strange looking through scores of photographs of young children in masks, and it was not always easy to identify our own grandchildren, so I may well have missed some. But here are a couple, one of Julia and one of Noah, that were just so sweet I felt compelled to share them here, in an effort to find some joy today.





Have a safe and peaceful weekend.

Love,

Rebecca
