11 Years This 11th

I wish I could write something to bring solace to those families that lost loved ones eleven years ago today, but I would probably fail in the attempt.

I can only say that I pray the victims rest in the peace of Christ, that the families of the victims heal from the pain of loss, and that we as a people do not lose ourselves in the pursuit of justice.
