Tomorrow is a powerful day. Its not just a day on a Calendar. Its not just going to be Sunday. It has a lot of labels and a lot of meanings. September 11th is day American's hold close. Its a day that reminded us that we are not always protected on our soil. Devastation to undeserving. Its a reminder of special people that gave their all. It's a reminder of one less person at Christmas, in your office or in your network.
Personally everyday should hold a value and respect. We are given our lives to make a difference and prove worthy of ourselves. Being kind and appreciated of opportunities, social statures, financial status, friends and family. We make up a society of all races and religious beliefs. We stand in a line of brother's and sister's to hold it together when it counts. We are a nation without failure. We do stand strong and proud of where we come from. We cry when we are hurt, but we get up and dust ourselves off and stand up for ourselves. Our military are still fighting and protecting for us. Our security alerts and precautions are heightened. Our interpretations and even sometimes decision making process are changed. We as a whole are changed because of one day.
Tomorrow I will be honoring all lost and their families that are empty. My candle will be lit and my flag will hang high. I will look at the sky and be thankful for what I have today, tomorrow and yesterday. I will look in the eyes of my oldest daughter who will be 11 years old tomorrow. Its a little difficult to find in myself sometimes every year on this day to smile and to be in celebratory spirits. My daughter didn't deserve her first birthday to be of devastation....nor did what even happened to begin with. It is what it is. Its a day to celebrate her life and to honor the death. Its a remembrance of my fellow colleague and his at the time 3 year old daughter that lost their lives in the plane that hit tower two that we as a nation watched on television together. Its a remembrance to an Uncle of a friend that was never found after he went back in and out of the towers to save the lives of others because it was his job as a firefighter to do. Its more then just a day.
So what will you do tomorrow, this September 11th? After Mass in the morning, my family and I will be stopping at our local fire department for support and then off to get Kymberly's ear pierced. My candle will burn as I said all day, my prayers and thoughts will not even halt, and I will have birthday cake. So again...I ask: What will you do?
