Facebook – September 2, 2012: After spending 32 years in prison and five as a free man, the man who was responsible for building the bomb that killed Brian Murray committed suicide this week. His wife found his body along with a note in their home in Croatia. I wonder if he thought about the lives he altered forever, the boys who never knew their father, the missed possibilities. After waiting so long for it, I wonder what freedom cost him. I’m not sad, nor am I happy that he’s dead, but I feel something, an event that I can’t name. Strange turn of events, this life. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/06/world/europe/zvonko-busic-67-croatian-hijacker-dies.html
You all know my story, the word terrorism that brings a shiver to our bones, the dark and unnatural date of 9/11/76 that left me a widow, and twenty-five years later, the date that caused fear and anxiety and great sorrow in every American. It is a date for reflecting and for looking forward, and each year I wish I could turn back the clock, but know that without tragedy there would be no growth.
