Remembering 9/11.
It does NOT get easier.
This week, every single year I am sad.
Sad for the fact that babies grew up without a father or mother. Sad that parents lost a child. Sad that first responders simply were doing their jobs and didn't make it.
I'm also sad that I am living in a world that is so full of hate that someone plotted this against us. That they WANTED to do this.
AND I am sad because I feel that we are in a time that things are going to get much worse I'm afraid, before they get any better. How did we get here?
What really makes me the saddest, is people not remembering as much anymore or not wanting to talk about it. How hard is it really to take a moment and say a prayer for these people as I feel it is OUR DUTY to NEVER forget all of these people. If you aren't the praying type, then at least stop to remember those who died that day. What if it had been us? Wouldn't you want people to remember YOU?
On thing that I would LOVE to see again is the UNITY from those days and years that followed that nightmare of a day. I think because I lived through this piece of history , I share how I feel so often and why I hold it so personal. Or maybe it's just because I am so patriotic, I'm not sure.
I would like to do my part to see if we can get that going again . . .the UNITY. Even if only 1000 people read this and do this, I would be happy but can you imagine if more than that did? WOW - it would be amazing! Because as Americans, we CAN DO amazing things. We can do anything we set our minds to but we have to try, we have to start and we need to quit talking about it & just DO IT!
Every year I try to figure out a way I can do MY part in helping to remember. I was given the talent of being creative so I have used my artistic abilities to try & share graphics to help people remember this day coming up. People like having different ways to help them remember.
So my wish for this year is simple . . .
I want everyone to download the 9/11 Facebook cover timeline (<------- just click on this link), download it and change your Facebook timeline cover to this 9/11 one! Can you imagine if we could get all of our friends to participate in this & light up our FB timelines with red, white & blue? Oh how FABULOUS would that be.
This is MY wish. But I can not do it alone. I NEED your help. Will you help me spread the word and try and unite us a nation for just a moment?
It's quite simple.
First, THANK YOU for reading this post.
Second, go ahead and download and change YOUR FB timeline cover.
Three, share this post and let's see what we can do when we UNITE together!
I can't wait to see what we can do and I appreciate you taking the time to try with me in doing this project! xoxo
Let us NEVER FORGET!
