May we never forget...
The day where everyone looked beyond the surface and felt each other’s humanness in our hearts.
The day where all barriers were laid down and our love for one another united us.
The day where selfless men and women ran towards the danger to help their fellow humans.
The day where people walked beside one another in their brokenness.
The day where hatred killed yet love prevailed in our hearts for one another.
The day we mourned together the loss of so many innocent lives.
The day courage showed its stripes and compassion shined bright.
The day we held each other close, and came together as one.
I invite you to join me for a moment of silence today to...
pause. breathe. pray.
And remember all the lives lost in NYC, PA and D.C., for all those we’ve lost since because of illness resulting from that day, for their loved ones, and for all the survivors who continue to live beside us.
May we never forget, September 11, 2001.
With love and hope,
Shawn
