September 11, 2001 changed us forever. Images fill our minds, hearts, and souls - planes crashing, towers crumbling, people running and staggering from the smoke and flames, courageous firefighters, thousands donating blood, millions of dollars donated to relief funds, prayers and candle vigils, emails of comfort circulating around the world, hands held, tears shed.We all ask ourselves the same questions: can we ever trust again? Are we to live in fear? Can we get to a place where the horrific images and fears aren't the last things we think about before falling asleep.We may not be able to answer these questions, but we can remember and honor the words and deeds of thousands of people - passengers on the airplanes, firefighters, rescue workers, police, medics, victims' loved ones, strangers - who not only have brought light into such darkness, but have found ways to shine because of the darkness. - from Amzon
