Im making this post public because today is a day to mourn those who died on 9/11
I know I havent been a new yorker very long but today is one of those days you can just feel a diffrence, today is a day of
sadness and remeberence for those who lost their lives this same day 5 years ago...I remember where I was, what I was doing, everything that day at FSC when it happened, I was scared for my friends here, Scared for the peope that risked their lives to save those around them...I now work 5 blocks from where the towers once stood, my boss lost his brother, my co-workers told me they walked home to Queens covered in ash and tears the whole 8 hours it took to get home...The stories are heartbreaking and the mourning today is all to real for those that lived through it, i will never fully understand or know what happened in the city that day im not sure anyone ever will.
I wrote a poem a long time ago and I thought I would share it here.
remember today to tell those around you that you love them and that they are in your life for a reason, hold on tight to those you love and let them know what they mean to you. We all should do this more and yet in the everyday occurings of life, it slips from us, make sure today you rememeber life is too precious to waste being to busy to tell someone you love them.
