The Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris suffered a debilitating fire on Monday. The Washington Post asked its readers to share their stories and memories of the famous landmark.
I have been back to Paris at least 15 times and I have never failed to stop in at Notre Dame. It centers me. I know where everything in the world is from there. My heart breaks.”“I have been to Notre Dame 4 times since 1996, but the best time was sharing it with my kids last summer. Today I felt the same way I felt on 9/11; disbelief, profound shock and sadness. I am so thankful to the firefighters that saved her from complete ruin. I am thankful for the world realizing what the fire means for the world.”“My 18th birthday senior French class trip to Paris. While the building and the windows were stunning, it was seeing this priest in a nook working that has stayed with me since 1980.”“A year ago this Thursday, my wife and I visited Paris with our three-year-old son.
“Cindy started blubbering ... I may have leaked a little as well. Then Tim and Kellie sprang out of the bushes with two bottles of champagne. We popped them open on the spot, and drank the bubbly out of plastic glasses, while the other tourists and even the locals cheered and high-fived.”“On New Years Eve 2003 when I was 7 years old, my mother took me to Paris on our first trip abroad. I was excited to see Notre Dame because I love the Disney movie.
