I saw this today and it really hit home. Today is the eve of 911 and at this very moment there are parents reading their children bedtime stories. There are husbands and wives rushing to complete last minute packing. Somewhere there is a firefighter hoping for a decent night sleep on a cot somewhere in the firehouse and there is a hospital praying for a slow night. This is life as many of us know it. We go about our day and our nights like we will get a thousand more never once stopping to think it could very well be our last. Who thinks like that anyway? I know all about how we are suppose to live for today, seizing moments and being thankful for the day and not worrying about tomorrow because mostly tomorrow is out of our control, but.....
This poem says it all. None of us knew what 9-11-2001 would bring. Not one of us. Morning started out normal and then the world was brought to its knees. I don't think I've ever seen humans act so kind, loving or have the togetherness as we all seemed to have that day and on 9-12-2001. I don't think any of us will ever forget where we were, what we were doing or forget the sheer panic and disbelief we carried on our faces.
Tonight is the Eve of 911. The day that the world change so many. The day that lives were lost and the American people vowed to take down the evil that buried their friends, neighbors and loved ones beneath the rubble. We will never forget.
