Remembering 9/11

9/11.  Numbers forever etched in our hearts and minds.

There’s not much that I can add here that hasn’t already been said about that horrific day in our country’s history.  It will forever leave a deep wound in each of our hearts. 

I was in NYC that day.  We all moved around in shock after the event…in slow motion, like a nightmare that we couldn’t shake.  Is this for real?   How could this happen?  So many questions…so much enduring pain.

We must always, and I mean always, remember that day and the loved one’s we lost.  Time leaves a scar but the feelings remain.  Strong, unending love that can never be extinguished.

Life is not an easy road…we experience pain alongside joy, fear alongside comfort.  This is how it is.  So I believe it is our responsibility to remind ourselves each day that we are fortunate –  even in the midst of struggle or sadness – to be here and to be given the chance to live our lives as best we can. 

Be safe my friends. – BB
