Enya, "Only Time"

:

My first cousin's husband was one of the unsung heroes of the World Trade Center. He was in there saving others when the Towers fell. He was the Chief Engineer of the Towers and although engineers are uniformed professionals unfortunately the sacrifice of 4 of them who gave their lives while saving others has never been publicly acknowledged. But more than this he was a beautiful, loving, kind man and he and my cousin had a beautiful, loving marriage destroyed in a moment of unthinkable violence. At the time I was too traumatized to cry -- but one song got through to me and caused healing tears to flow -- Enya's "Only Time." I would love to hear this again on WNYC and WQXR as we pause to remember....
