HER SPIRIT

The terrorists who say they killed my husband may have taken his life, but they did not take his spirit. Danny is my life. They may have taken my life, but they did not take my spirit… My other hope now–in my seventh month of pregnancy–is that I will be able to tell our son that his father carried the flag to end terrorism, raising an unprecedented demand among people from all countries not for revenge but for the values we all share: love, compassion, friendship and citizenship far transcending the so-called clash of civilizations.” – Mariane Pearl, Daniel’s wife, in a deeply moving statement in the Wall Street Journal.
