Every 9/11 I spend some time with the stories of that terrible day, I think it's super important to remember the events, the lives lost, the stories of true heroism, and feel and be overwhelmed by the sadness again and even anger. This morning I Sat and listened to the names being called out from the WTC Memorial site and at the end of each section of names, two loved ones highlighted their specific loss with stories, memories and dedications. Please spend some time yourself to really remember. Especially now that we are 23 years on, there are so many youngsters that weren't even born yet and they need to know the details of that day and understand the grief and feelings too. I found this quote in a very special book that was given to me by my Canadian friends after 9/11, called "A Diary Between Friends", it's about the special friendships the US and Canada shared over 9/11....just like the personal experience I had that week!
"I wish I could somehow gather the emotion we felt and put it in a bottle. I would open the bottle whenever anyone wanted to hear 'the story' and tell them to breathe in deeply. It would be a much better world." 🇺🇲🇨🇦♥️ Joanne Burns Millar Terri Weisgerber Samson Jennifer Connolly PDS
