RIP Christina.
I just saw your picture this morning and I thought what a beautiful child you were.
Brought into the world on a day when grownups were in turmoil
and leaving on a day when grownups were still in turmoil.

When will they ever learn?

1. Yeah, and don't forget adding the numbers up....
...gives one the dreaded 23.

09 + 11 + 2001 = 23 (9 + 11 + 2 + 1)

01 + 09 + 2011 = 23 (1 + 9 + 2 + 11)

5. I made the same mistake when I was thinking about this yesterday.
But, 1+8=9. Regardless, that poor dear child. :(

9. You know yesterday I was going to post what looked like a horrible coincidence.
I got busy and didn't do it. Then I realized later that the massacre happened on the 8th not the 9th. We all make mistakes. :hi:

3. We can't afford to lose the Christina's in this country
She was so young and already so interested in government. She was a member of her elementary school student council and she was excited to meet her Representative. For a child to show such an interest this early is a special thing.

I was talking about Christina with my 10 year old daughter and she turned to me and said, "Mom, I bet Christina would have made a great President". Obviously there's no way of knowing what path she would have ultimately chosen for herself, but I like to think my daughter is right.

11. So very tragic
My heart breaks thinking about her and the other victims. The life of an angel bookended by horrible tragedy. I was particularly jolted when I read about her since my own daughter was born on 9/11/01.

I sent my deepest condolences to her family.
