September 11th, 2011

I didn't take any photos today. Maybe it is appropriate that there is no image on the day that it is. As you all know, it is the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Living in New York state, the people here were affected directly by the attacks, with most knowing people that died. At the end of Mass this morning, the congregation all sang "America the beautiful". Many people had tears in their eyes.

Right now, I am watching a repeat of the commemoration from New York earlier today. I was going to go to the city today to attend some of the commemoration events but it's probably better that I didn't go in. While I would like to attend some events, I would feel out of place there because this tragedy really didn't affect me to the same extent as most of those attending.

May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
