An Unusual Friendship - 9/11 healing: The mothers who found forgiveness, friendship
Edited on Tue May-03-11 11:47 AM by kpete
"Our suffering is equal. Yet I'm treated with sympathy; she is treated with hostility."
Phyllis Rodriguez, on Aicha el-Wafi


Phyllis Rodriguez and Aicha el-Wafi have a powerful friendship born of unthinkable loss. Rodriguez' son was killed in the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001; el-Wafi's son Zacarias Moussaoui was convicted of a role in those attacks and is serving a life sentence. In hoping to find peace, these two moms have come to understand and respect one another.
