On September 11th, I will be blogging in tribute to a casualty (Sean B. Fegan, age 34) of the Twin Towers disaster as part of the 2,996 Project.

I will be blogging about a man I don't know.

I will be blogging about an issue I don't understand.

I will be blogging about lives that were shattered.

I will be blogging about a life stolen.

Thousands of people will blog that day to remember these men and women whose time was cut short by hatred. Please do all you can to support this e-memorial. Go to the website; click on some names. Send out some comments.

Sean was just one year older than I am now. He was making his way in the world. Perhaps he was a new father. Perhaps we was an adoring son. Perhaps he had a new relationship. Perhaps he had tickets to see the Yankees. Perhaps he was going on a date with his girlfriend, Jenny. He loved being Irish; this I know because of the Memorial E-Quilt block in his honor.

I don't know much about Sean Fegan, but I know that he could have been any man, or every man, that I love. He could have been my brother, my father, my husband, or my son. He could have been my neighbor, my coach, or my friend.

I can't imagine what it is like to be any of the people he loved. My heart cries out to his mother, Colette. As a mother, I just can't imagine that kind of loss. My heart reaches further to his father, Peter. Hy heart extends further to his sisters, Anne Marie and Catherine, and his brother, Peter. And my heart bursts for his girlfriend, Jenny.

I can only hope that his suffering was not in vain.
