I just read an encouraging update on Gabby Giffords's condition. It caused me to revisit my experience when the story first broke. This from my archive:
Tucson, AZ (CNN) - She was born on September 11, 2001 and died in Saturday's shootings in Arizona. Christina Green's father says the nine years in between were special. "It does say something about our society that our daughter was born on a tragic day and taken out on a tragic day," John Green told CNN's Casey Wian Sunday. Christina attended the event hosted by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords because she had recently been chosen for the student council at Mesa Verde Elementary School, where families left flowers and a note that read, in part, "We are deeply saddened by the loss of this precious child."
She didn't belong here, and if you weep as I do, you don't belong here either. Don't you dare forget her.
