I am sitting in my office thinking about the events that happened
5 years ago. I can feel the fear, confussion, hopelesness, sadness,
uncertainties...these were the emotions I felt on that day.
.
I experienced 911 first hand being two blocks away from the towers. I witness the 2nd plane and the collapse.
I lost a relative, three friends and two clients.
They will forever be in my memory and in my heart. In my home
there is always a white candle burning year round in memory
of all those innocent people.
A friend sent me the following, I thought I would share it with
you...May God Bless us all!!!
September 11, the day darkness fell over our land, terror filled our streets and fear overtook our hearts. Collectively we faced our mortality, our vulnerability, and our fragility. But out of the darkness appeared a bright light, the light of God, the light of hope, the light of unity.
What was meant to weaken our people strengthened our determination.
What was meant to cripple us economically, lead to more giving than ever before.
What was meant to instill fear, allowed our bravest of heroes to shine.
Let us not forget that out of the darkness appeared a bright light.
What was meant to separate us, brought us together in unity.
What was meant to disorient us, realigned our values.
What was meant to disempower us, gave us strength of spirit.
Let us not forget that out of the darkness appeared a bright light.
What was meant to crumble our structures, strengthened our character.
What was meant to detach us from our loved ones, brought us closer to our families.
Let us not forget that out of the darkness appeared a bright light.
What was meant to fill our minds with anger, opened our hearts with gratitude.
What was meant to invoke terror, lead to extraordinary acts of kindness.
What was meant to dissolve our faith brought us closer to God.
For what develops out of the darkness is often the brightest light of possibilities. Although the images 9/11 will forever be imprinted upon our soul, let us remember the lessons of this day. The lessons of what truly is important; courage, strength, serving others, faith, but most of all love. Let us not forget to count our blessings, to say I love you, to honor each others differences. Let us not forget the day we all as a world came together as one. Let us not forget that out of the darkness appeared a bright light. For if we forget the lessons of this day those who died, died in vain.
Today we look within our hearts and souls and find the lessons we learned from 9/11. We rediscover the light that carried us through the most challenging time in our history and we now use it to guide our lives and the choices we make. Together we can choose peace, unity, and love.
