911 Today In My Heart
Mon, September 11, 2006 - 9:39 PM
Not the actual day nor the years to follow have ever brought me as much sorrow as this day has poured upon my soul.
The footage of different programs, the news with compelling pain, the broken hearts, the horrible death people went through, the anguish...the loss.
Tears have flowed, as my own pain, for the lost and their loved ones.
I saw the face of satan in every picture of the first plane that crashed. In the fire, in the smoke. His face, evil as it is, was surrounding that building. He is the destroyer. He is the one who takes life away.
I...have grieved. I...have a broken heart. I...live with the sorrow. I...have lost.

You're not alone in your loss...
I actually lost someone in the towers that day. I went to grade school with him and his sister. His sister was in my class and he was in a younger grade. Very smart guy, exemplary person in his community, good husband and was a soon-to-be-father. He died 11 days before his daughter was born...on what would have been his 31st birthday...never got to see her.

hits us all in different ways, of course. my saddness became a kind of resolve.
i resolved to raise hell when we show complacency towards our security. i resolved to not accept the government's word for ANYTHING, no matter which party is in power. i resolved to be more considerate of those making any kind of sincere effort. and i resolved to be even more vigilent in protecting my rights even as many around us call for a tightening of them. these rights are really the only thing that separates us from the terrorists attacking us. i'm sure i made a number of other resolutions over the past five years; these just always stay top of mind. grief is good, shells...express it |
