<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>my 5 year old and i attended golden moon yesterday--my first thought was to not go, due to the recent events...however, after rethinking my position i decided it was necessary to not only continue with my original plans, but to actually try and enjoy myself-which i did...my point is a simple one--the world as we know it is going to change...period...my child will see a very different america and probably have to adjust to many changes that we did not...life in these united states is forever altered--the extent, we know not--yet...do not bow to the hatred and terrorism of this past week...live...don't be afraid to leave your homes lest "something bad happen"...as a journalist i have been covering this unfolding horror nearly 24 hours a day--i had to take a break from reality before i physically became ill...but i refuse to allow these events to take me over completely...i will press on with my job as a reporter and convey the information to my audience, and i will not allow it to swallow my spirit...may we all grow in strength together from this and learn from it as well..isabella</FONT></HTML>
