After all that had happened.

Today, every media outlet will flow with stories and song and testimony. I could tell you exactly where I was that day, but it wouldn’t matter. What is important is that on the same day I watched images of fire and collapse span the television screen, over and over, I felt the movements of my yet-to-be-born son for the very first time.

Like a golf ball, I thought, as he did flips from one side of my stomach to the other.

It didn’t make sense, and I felt funny rejoicing. After all that was lost that day.

But there it was, anyway.

Hope.
