    That was very moving. Seeing the closeness of the family brought tears to me eyes.

    Jen and I were talking about this the other day. Neily was affected in a totally different way than I was, a way that I can never fully comprehend, and I fully sympathize. But I think it's wrong to say that not everyone was affected that day in some way or another.

    10 years later and it's as if unity is only a dream now.
