My thoughts on September 11th from 2013. Cried reading it, thinking of all that could have been. Taking my 3 kids to breakfast tomorrow at 6:30 am. Why? Because I can still do it while others can’t. They don’t know it, but the theme is that a life not lived to its fullest is another tragedy. God Bless.
I will never forget. Where I was. Who I was with. Those murdered. Those never found. Those who tried to help. Those lost trying to help. Those who have suffered – whether from loss, or cancer from trying to help. 
Please take the time to remember. Remember the people – our friends and neighbors. Remember the memorial services. The pain. Remember the feeling of community. Remember the pride. Remember the flags. 
Please also take time to remember all of the great stories about all of our friends. Re-tell them. Re-live them. Tell your kids. Tell your friends and neighbors. Tell strangers. Don’t let them be forgotten. Don’t let it ever happen. Never. 
Finally, be thankful for all that we still have. Hug your kids, your family, your friends. Never let them go. Tell them you love them everyday. Life is so short. Let those who have gone before us be a reminder that you never know when this wonderful ride will be over. Don’t let them wonder what your feelings were.
