Tragedy

What a weekend the world had. There is so much going on. I mourned on 9-11 Sunday and Monday morning came too quickly. I stayed up too late and woke up too early, kids went to school, rain, nightly news is full of sadness and then I watched the news special with Diane Sawyer on Jackie Kennedy. Tupak died on the 13th right in front of Ellis Island on Koval lane. It all got me thinking So much death lately, it can make one appreciate life more.

"I always wanted to be a writer or newspaper reporter, but after college I did other things" Jackie Kennedy  July 28th 1929- May 19, 1994

"A man may die, nations may rise and fall but an idea lives on"
John F. Kennedy May 29, 1917-November 22, 1963

"It's hard for me to talk about a legacy or a mystique. It's my family, it's my mother, it's my father, it's my sister. We're like any other family. We look out for one another. The fact that there have been difficulties, hardships and obstacles makes us closer" John F. Kennedy Jr.  November 25, 1960 - July 16, 1999

"I know it  seems hard sometimes, but remember one thing. Through every dark night, there's a brighter day after that. So matter how hard it gets, stick your chest out, keep your head up and handle it"  Tupak Shakur June 16-1971-September 13, 1996

For all those who lived and died, for all those who tried to make a difference in the world and felt largly misunderstood. I remember-
