better in any way?
Did you take anything other than anger away from it?
Do you do anything differently?

I think I'm a better mother because of it. I was barely pregnant that day - didn't even know I was pregnant - but so many of the stories I saw revolved around loved ones - and as one writer wrote, no one called to say, "I never liked you." I carry that with me - No matter how annoyed I am or how "bad" my kids have been that day, every night is ended with "I love you so much"'s and prayers of thanksgiving for the day.
I've taken gratitude from it. I've also taken strength. Regardless of how the end of United 93 came about (whether it be being shot down by fighters or brought down by the terrorists), the passengers *wanted* and *tried* to do something. That's the definition of heroes, even if their attempts weren't what worked.
I forgive much easier - without someone asking, I try to forgive. Life's too short.
