Memorial wall—
here pilgrims come to reflect
on life’s brevity.

    I know you were greatly impacted by the tragedy. Lovely memorial. I hope you found some solace visiting. We’ve been wanting to visit the 9/11 memorial. Maybe in the fall.

    This makeshift memorial must feel to some people like visiting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall.
