September 11, 2001 brings up a slew of memories for all of us. All of us were changed by the experience.

National Public Radio has compiled a series of brief remembrances on their website called Six Lives Transformed by Sept. 11. It is only one example of such story sharing.

Each demonstrates the value of sharing our stories. Stories help us realize our humanness and how, in so many ways, much alike we all our as we share our love, grief and sadness.
