I still get chills and tears well in my eyes when I hear
people say where they were and how they felt as they heard the news of the
first plane hitting and then the second plane. I get that funny feeling in the
pit of my stomach and my chest when I see footage of the buildings fall. I was thousands
of miles away and only watched on TV and yet if I felt helpless, lost and
shattered, imagine how those felt who were standing right there. To say my
heart goes out to them, just doesn’t seem like enough. I can only pray that God
will touch each one of them and let them know he’s there.
I kept saying over and over, WHY? I'm not a political
person, so I'm naive when it comes to foreign affairs. Or maybe I intentionally
stay out of it, because I know my heart can’t take the horror. I just didn't
understand why anyone could or would take completely innocent lives, in the name
of religion, politics or because a so called leader said no lives matter, only
my cause. I am befuddled at the idea that human lives don’t matter, for any
reason. And yes, I’m fool-hearted, I know.
My heart goes out to the amazingly brave people on the plane
that took action, knowing it was the last thing they would ever do. Who knows
how many lives they saved with their own. That's a hero, that's having the
heart and strength of a warrior. And to each and every person that dug out
people, alive or dead, and had to see the devastation left behind. God bless
them all. And God bless those left behind. I hope, for at least today, we can
remember a day when we all stood together and helped each other survive,
physically and emotionally. They hugged, cried, screamed, pulled with every ounce
of strength and rejoiced when they found a survivor. Those terrorists didn't
care who was on those planes, what they did for a living or where their families
where from or what religion they were, the terrorists were going to kill them
all. Let's not let them take our dignity too, they took enough.
So to the firemen, policemen, doctors, nurses, by standers,
bus drivers, pilots, passengers, construction workers and every other person in
New York that day I say I’m so sorry for your loss and the tragedy you had to
endure. And Thank You to you and all the other people from around the country
and the world that went to New York to help. I believe this is what any God
would want man to do, help each other.
