The sadness I feel this year is different from the past.Here in Central Jersey, I've thought I'd be hard-pressed to find someone - anyone - not touched by the deaths that occurred on September 11, 2001. If you didn't lose someone dear to you, you know someone who has.
Well, that long-held belief has been blown right out of the water, or the sky as the case may be.
The daughter of a friend, probably in her mid-20s, posted something online today that caught me off-guard: "It's a yucky boring day."
I can think of at least 2993 people who would LOVE to have the chance to describe today in that way.
Because they can't, I vow that I never will.
