One of my good friends Yaacov bin Moshe blogs at Breath of the Beast. The beast being anti-semitism and terrorism in all its deadly forms. In an entry today, Yaacov pays tribute to one of the victims in the bombing of Flight 103 near Lockerbie, Scotland, a Sarah Philipps: Birthday Gift For A Dead Girl. This is a moving post folks so I urge you to read it all. Here is an exerpt:
I live next to a lovely suburban park in Newton, Massachusetts. It might be the last place where you would expect to find it but, if you pay attention, you will feel the breath of the beast here too.
Between my dogs and my kids, I manage to find quite a few excuses to spend time on the benches in the park. There is one bench in particular- in a very nice corner of the park where two streams converge. This bench is very near to a playground so that the sound of playing children is often in the background; but it faces away from the play area- as if to look away and brood. It is a cool spot, under the shelter of several big, old trees so there is shade from the summer sun and the cruel winter winds are muffled.
I often sit on that bench, starting out there in solitude, only to find myself in the company of a young woman whom I will never meet. There is a little bronze plaque affixed to a rock here and it conjures her presence. Sometimes, I remember to contemplate her fate.
Go read it all and sign the petition while you are at it. We can't bring Sarah back, but maybe if we have the courage and fortitude, we can prevent more Sarahs in the future.
