Mothers of 9/11

Last Sunday we learned of Osama bin Laden's death. This Sunday we celebrate Mother's Day. This TED Talk couldn't be more timely and thought-provoking:

Phyllis Rodriguez and Aicha el-Wafi have a powerful friendship born of unthinkable loss. Rodriguez' son was killed in the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001; el-Wafi's son Zacarias Moussaoui was convicted of a role in those attacks and is serving a life sentence. In hoping to find peace, these two moms have come to understand and respect one another.
