Gia (and anybody else who's interested)
You can still do a lot for those who'll need help in the long run.
I remember reading an article about the last survivor of the Omagh bombing to go home. The bombing in Omagh, County Tyrone , Northern Ireland, occurred in August of 1998, and the lady didn't come home until almost Christmas (it was her Christmas present to her remaining children. Her youngest died in the bombing).
She needed quite a number of surgeries and rehabilitation (as did most of the survivors), and I'm pretty sure that some of them are still requiring some form of aid (not monetary, but in the form of rehab, psychological, somebody to listen and/or hold a hand, etc.).
I know that what happened in New York was considerably worse in the amount of lives lost, but in reality, it really isn't, because just one person can make a hell of a difference in the lives of those who had lost friends and/or loved ones in the insanity of terrorism. When all the damn fanfare is gone, there is still going to be a need for the quiet heroes and heroines.
And (if what I'm hearing is right) war breaks out, EVERYBODY'S gonna have to be there for the next person, no matter where that person is from or what his/her religion is or anything. Even if it's seeing/holding your next child, despite the squirming that'll probably happen (wars are NEVER really short, just battles).
Nanaea , if your canine companions are of an easy temperment, they could be of as much assistance as Gia 's children in both the short and long runs.
Thanks, Mike C., for letting me toss in my two pennies (ka-ching)
