Hearing @BrianLehrer describe the #911Day weather as “the most beautiful day ever” touched me deeply. Because it was just that. So blue and clear. pic.twitter.com/ZFhUkvKUUE

Hard to take in all the feelings that Sept 11 raises. So much pain and suffering continues from these attacks. Thank you @BrianLehrer show for remembering. Thinking of those whose lives were changed forever. Listening and remembering through tears.
