    Amazing Haiku. Brought me right back to that day standing in the middle of a small cafe with a group of strangers staring at the one tv in the place

  • I was just 11 when this happened and I can still remember the news on the TV. It's was so devastating 🥺

    Right in the heart. Well done on putting into so few words the tragedy of that day, Kelli!

  • And heroes arose while others considered dark things they might accomplish in the shadow of these atrocities.

    I still remember exactly what I was doing when I saw the breaking news on that tragic day. I think we all do.
