Twenty-One to Twenty-One

 

Twenty-one days from today marks twenty-one years from the September 11 attacks.  Twenty-one to twenty-one.   

One way to measure time's passage from a particular event is to look at it through the lives of those directed affected by that event.  To that end, in connection with the twentieth anniversary of the attacks last year, Mary Biekert of Bloomberg wrote a terrific piece, entitled "Generation 9/11:  Following Parents They Lost Onto Wall Street."   

It might make you cry - or at least tear up a little - but it might also make you smile.   A generation of young men and women, deprived of a parent's companionship in their day-to-day, nevertheless following in their footsteps.  

The living honoring the dead.  Spend a few minutes today reading Mary Biekert's piece.  It will allow you to honor both.
