A Day To Remember

It's amazing how a tragedy links people together forever. It's disheartening and sad that every 11th of September will be a day that no American will ever forget. My heart goes out to every family and friend affected by the tragedy as my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I remember being in 8th grade English class. I didn't even know what the World Trade Center was. And now I know, I will never forget it. The rest of the day seems blurry. I remember people's parents picking them up early for school, all after school activities were canceled. I remember walking into my house. I remember seeing the images replayed over and over again on the television. I didn't really know what was going on. Terrorism seemed so distant, I didn't even understand what that was either.

I remember hearing incredible stories, both good and bad. I knew that this day would never be forgotten. And even as I remember it now, nothing will amount to the lives lost and the families changed. I know there's not much that I can do, except remember.

Thank you to all the firefighters, police officers, and military for serving your country then, now, and for every tomorrow. The only hope I have for this world, comes from the hope of another.

"And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us. " Romans 5:5
