9/11 – We Remember

I saw this post online today and thought I would share.

“On this day… 23 years ago 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift. None of them saw past 10:00am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.”

Such a heartbreaking and senseless tragedy and we will never ever forget that day, the lives lost, and the families and friends left behind forever changed.

I will never forget that day.  I will never forget the feeling of helplessness.  The shock and horror.

My heart still breaks for each person affected by that day.

We will never forget 9/11.
