So much news coverage was devoted to the tragedy there, but the same day a friend who is a local firefighter lost a co-worker in a house fire. It was such a huge loss, and much harder for those at the firehouse and the family to bear with all that happened that day.Traci Hunter Abramsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166775097044986075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1426605777350263565.post-34628617277607706062007-10-18T07:42:00.000-07:002007-10-18T07:42:00.000-07:00A wonderful reminder.

I often don't reflect on the hardships of the other families just by having a loved one in the line of danger both home and abroad.
