People who attended were challenged with climbing 2,200 steps, equivalent to the 110 stories of the World Trade Center, and got a glimpse of the climb first responders faced on the tragic day. My oldest grandson completed this again this year with his team👍🏻❤️
She said, “To be pretty for you I have dropped two seeds of turnsole in the dark of both eyes.” He was suddenly taken aback as her words seemed to cause his heart to crack. Surely such words were not coming from her, as he had spoken of her beauty many times. He studied her, wondering how she could not have realized how he adored her— that her beauty was only an ornament. He softly took her in his arms, and pressed her close. Leaning back, seeking any expression or speech that could convey his truest feelings to her, he pulled her to him again. She seemed unresponsive, stiffening, as if unable to believe his words.
“No tincture of magic was ever needed. There is nothing in this world that could in any way compare to my love for you, just as you are.”

She heard the grieving whispers as the mourners gathered on the shore. Since his death, the hurt was clawing at her every thought, roaming in her mind, making it hard to breathe.

This song is from one of my all time favorite movies, “The Commitments”. Set in the Northside of Dublin, the film tells the story of Jimmy Rabbitte (Robert Arkins), a young music fanatic who assembles a group of working-class youths to form a soul band named “The Commitments”. The film is the first in a series known as The Barrytown Trilogy, followed by The Snapper (1993) and The Van (1996). “Treat Her Right” is a soul music song, with a standard 12-bar-blues structure. Written by Roy Head and Gene Kurtz.
