: : That's a paraphrase of a quote from the mother of one of the passengers aboard Flight 93, that crashed, heroically, in rural Pennsylvania on September 11.
: : She was discussing the pros & cons of hearing the flight voice recorder tape yesterday, along with other family members, of the final moments of that flight. Did it do more harm than good?
: : She was asked, "Tonight, when you go to bed, will you be haunted by the tape?"
: : Her answer was about as powerful as they come!
: : God Bless those folks & their families ... it is hard to imagine a more heroic scenario unfolding. I hope that I can do as well if ever I am confronted with such a proposition.

: These family members....I just don't know how they had the courage to listen to the tapes. I don't know if I could have done it. It must have been heart wrenching to hear. God bless them.

I agree with you, Theresa, the next block over to us lives the widower of a victim of that flight and chose not to listen as he feels it would be too hard. A tough decision and a tough situation. My prayers for all of them.
