The Angels Cry When Good People Leave Us

I spent a month in Stuttgart, Germany as an exchange student. On May 10th, 1979, it was pouring rain as I said a tearful goodbye to my host family. My host mother told me "the angels cry when good people leave us", that was the reason for the rain.

It is pouring rain outside my window, ten miles away from Ground Zero, this September 11, 2007. Six years have passed since thousands of innocent men and women died from a terroristic act on U.S. soil. The angels are still weeping.
