Life is weaker than death, and death is weaker than love. Khalil Gibran

Yesterday marked a very dark day in our history as we paid tribute to those who died in the events of 9 11. It’s all so clear in my mind… that morning Caron and I were going to the farmers market in Hamilton and as we walked through the public library to get to the doors of the market we could see this blank look on people faces as they stared into the tv in the lobby. We were witnessing an event that would change the world as we knew it forever.
Many countries were represented by the victims of the attack on the World Trade Center. The New York City Health Department released a report based on 2,617 death certificates filed for the victims through Jan. 25, 2002. The report covers more than 90 percent of the estimated deaths and includes the victims on the planes.
As I sit and reflect, I’d like to pay tribute to the 16 Canadian and 15 nationals of Trinidad and Tobago (my 2 homes) who lost their lives 5 years ago.

Let’s hope we never have to relive such events again.
