"Reflecting Absence"

September 11, 2011

Good morning everyone,

I've posted an aerial view of the WTC memorial "Reflecting Absence" that will be opened to the victims families today. I personally cannot wait to go see this in person. We all remember where we were that morning. Most say life changed that day. How has it changed you? Did you change right afterward? Has that change been more profound and stayed with you through this decade? Maybe this anniversary will change you today. Maybe, you say, whatever... change... smange.

Whether or not their was enough of an impact on you that you did change... remember you are a part of the whole. You are a reflection of all those that perished. You are a reflection of a world were something like this can happen. You are a reflection of the absence. BUT... you are NOT absent. You are here. What will you reflect?

You may notice I've moved Nelson's beach photo up today. Nelson came to us from Pet Harbor Husky Rescue. All Pet Harbor strays are named after victims of 9/11. Nelson is proudly named after Mr. Peter Nelson a firefighter that was lost that day.

I <3 U all,

Jude
