I don't know, but I do think a lot of people's perspectives changed that day. Once I thought about my generation's pennace for what is "rightfully ours'. Now, I see us all trying (even clumsily) to catch up to the love that overflowed all of our hearts that day. I know that I was a little disgruntled about certain things on America like health care, children's rights, and all those left hungry while I throw out leftover food. But now, though I'm still concerned about it, I would not move to Switzerland to escape it. I want to stay right here and change it from within. Because I CAN. And that is what I learned that day that so many people outside of our country never have the chance to know. God Bless those who grieve today. You are in my prayers.
