What I Was Trying to Say

Alyson Low by Suzanne CeChillo

Two days ago I spent a good deal of time trying to carefully render, in the space of a blog post, what I feared I would see during the 9/11 anniversary events, and what I thought the anniversary should be all about. As usual, I was too elliptical in my verbiage and utterly failed to nail my point. The woman in this picture, however, makes the point perfectly.

This photograph, taken by Suzanne DeChillo for the New York Times, shows Alyson Low, whose sister, Sarah Low, was a flight attendant on American Airlines Flight 11.
