Jesus... couldn't watch the complete slide show...

Father, Mychael Judge (The NYFD parishoner), the first comfirmed fatality -- the wonderful, humble, simple human being who fed the homeless in manhattan and served the poor and God all his life -- was my wife's childhood priest in northern jersey. (He died when one of the jumpers landed on him as he was trying to give last rights to another victim. The fire-fighters picked him up and took him out, which is why he was the first *confirmed* fatality.)

A few months after 9/11, my wife and I went up to visit some family. We went to the site (I HATE it when they call it "Groud Zero") and to the firehouse and small chapel he had across the street from it from where he served. My wife, understandibly, sobbed. How incredibly sad that such a sweet, loving, wonderful man (along with so many others) was killed in such a senseless, hateful manner.
