As We Move on, We Take the Past With Us
I remember this day as if it happened yesterday….
I was standing in my best friend’s living room when it first hit T.V. as breaking news. All I heard was 'A plane just went into the south tower...and a second one into the north' All I could think was 'What the heck was happening? What is the twin towers, why are they so important?' I had just started the sixth and you don’t cover American History until eighth grade, so we hadn't quite gotten to that lesson in our history books yet. All I could see were two burning buildings and still no answers.
I can't remember much past that, but I know it was a sad day.
9 years later...
Since this tragedy hit our nation, I believe American has become a better people despite the many outcomes, theories, and debates on why 9/11 happened. But we must also remember the change and positive things that have come out of this.
We are lucky to still have our lives, our health, family, and friends. We must remember not to take for granted all 3,000 lives lost as a sacrifice for us. We are lucky to have each other. Today while remembering this day, don’t forget to tell the ones you love how important they are and how much you love them.
To my family and friends: Without all the love and support from you I could not be the person I am today. For all the good times and memories we've shared together and for many more to come!! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being apart of my life and love you all very much!! Without you, my life would not be complete!!
As the ninth year comes to a close I must ask that we pray for those lives lost and those families affected. Pray for our country. Finally I ask that we pray and thank GOD for all that we have and for each other.
