September 11, 2009: It Is Always Necessary

"I thought about waking her but it was unnecessary.
There would be other nights.
And how can you say I love you to someone you love?
I rolled onto my side and fell asleep next to her.
Here is the point of everything I have been trying to tell you...
It's always necessary.
I love you..."
- Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

thank you for this. I'm starting the StoryCorps now, and am sure I'm going to start sobbing at my desk.
It's been amazing to watch Tony grow up through your eyes. He makes me so proud and happy for you and your family. Give him big snoogles for me tonight.

History of Love

If you haven't read it - do it. It's by his wife. They both wrote their books before they met, they were published around the same time. Both so similar in the writing style. Such a good read!
