Those who survived the San Francisco earthquake said, 'Thank God, I'm still alive.' But, of course, those who died, their lives will never be the same again.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's not lost on me that everyone dies, but some people have a kind of immortality about them, and you can't imagine that they will ever be gone.
People who live through transplants or disasters like Sept. 11 are survivors.
Anyone who doesn't have a great time in San Francisco is pretty much dead to me.
Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.
I wanted to acknowledge that life goes on but that death goes on, too. A person who is dead is a long, long story.
Whenever an earthquake or tsunami takes thousands of innocent lives, a shocked world talks of little else. I'll never forget the wrenching days I spent in Haiti last year for Save the Children just weeks after the earthquake.
The loss of life will be irreplaceable.
If any reader has lost a loved one or is afraid of death, modern physics says: 'Be comforted, you and they shall live again.'
San Francisco is gone. Nothing remains of it but memories.
Those whose lives were lost on September 11 will remain in our thoughts and prayers forever.
