Never Forget

We Remember. 

Everybody remembers where they were that day, when, how, and from who they heard.

We Remember. 

 

I remember the end of Netball class, being ushered into the classroom, where all the teachers stood in muted panic.

 I remember coming home from school and every channel on TV was showing the same film about New York and airplanes.

 I remember two years ago today, on the 10 year anniversary, watching an emotional baseball match between Los Angeles and New York, a stirring half time with the firefighters who survived. 

We Remember. 

 Remember those who suffered in the Twin Towers

Remember those who suffered in the hi-jacked planes

Remember those workers in the control rooms taking the emergency calls

Remember those who received last calls from loved ones

Remember those who never received that last call

Remember those who lost fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, wives, husbands

Remember those who fought to save the lives of others

Remember those who responded first on the scene

 Remember those whose lives were changed forever

Remember those iconic images.

Friends? Strangers? Maybe they just didn't want to be alone.

Honor those who died, those who risked their lives, and those whose lives were turned upside down forever. Move forward, be brave, be strong, and keep your head high. 

We Remember. Never Forget.
