9.11.11 Adam News & info

Thank you, Holst. When I was in NYC for RMT, I stayed across from Ground Zero. It was bitter cold and snowy the day I walked around the place where the unimaginable occurred. The sacredness was palpable. It was silent there that day, odd for New York, but it was as if the city remembered once again and sighed.

In line for the concert, my sister and I met a young couple from NYC. They brought up 9/11 and the painful memories they shared from that day. But they also stated that the city had never been the same..that NYC was now a kinder, more gentle place. People bonded together in a time of tragedy and the bond continued.

I think of them from time to time as the woman had been diagnosed with leukemia. We gave them our boas and they were delighted. They did not know Adam, but won tickets and had no extra money for entertainment, so this was their treat night out. Adam brought us together in remembrance, hope and celebration of life.

Wow, great Ste. Agathe photos.

I posted the link below as a BFTP the other day, but I'm taking advantage of the slow news day and the 9/11 anniversary to post again. It's appropriate today because Adam talks about his 9/11 experience on the cruise ship (beginning about 4:25). I saw a written interview posted earlier where he said similar things, but I just love to watch this interview. There's something about both Adam's demeanor and the way he looks that are incredibly appealing (yeah, I know that could be said about most if not all of his interviews...).

Re: parenting...It's so incredibly difficult to make decisions when you really can't know the outcome for sure, especially if your child is different from other kids in some way. So you make the best decision you can make for your child, and hope and pray that it IS for the best. And in many cases you never really know for sure that it WAS the right decision. Parenting makes you vulnerable in a unique way. I remember reading an Ann Tyler novel years ago in which one of the characters talks about having more children in order to feel less vulnerable, when in fact she actually became MORE vulnerable by doing so. And then I remember my daughter at around age 18 saying to me that it was time for me to step back and see what I had wrought, lol.
