Vincent: [voiceover] For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving... maybe I'm going home.. "Gattaca"

You were aiming for the stars and inspiring us all to keep reaching for them, but your journey lead you beyond those stars... Godspeed you...

My thoughts and prayers are with all those who were lost that fateful day. I still remember it. I can't believe it was that long ago. I was only around seven years old..but I remember it vividly.

And an ironic one, since the character is a kindly Japanese death god...

I was...eight going on nine in June when this tragedy hit. I think it was one of the first major events that left an impression on my young mind, thus hearing about the special memorial at the Kennedy Center, brought back the shock and disbelief and horror...tempered by time, but still leaving it's mark...
