PEOPLE, Sept. 12, 2011: "The Children of 9/11"
(Photograph by Nigel Parry)

As the nation stopped to remember the tragedy of 9/11, People marked the 10th anniversary with a more hopeful note. For the fourth time,People told the stories of ten children and their moms, who were pregnant when their husbands died on 9/11; ten years on, there was still sadness but also joy, both grief and triumph over tragedy. The families gathered at a Manhattan studio—poignantly on Father's Day—for portraits taken by Nigel Parry. The cover image, of 9-year-old Lauren McIntyre holding a pendant with her father's photo, simply, and powerfully, capture the children's legacy of love.

This magazine cover has a lot of meaning. From the tragic event that happened, this magazine is honoring the people that had been a victim of the horrid incident. Likewise, It's showing respect for those people who lost a loved one. Lastly, the young girl shown in the cover is posed in a way to show how she had been able to move past from the grief but still holds on to her memories with love and hope.
