Today I Remembered The Hurt,
The Fear,
The Pain,
The Agony,
The Sadness,
The Emptiness,
The Numbness,

Today I Remembered The Camaraderie,
The Patriotism,
The Caring,
The Support,
The Friendship,
The Resilience,
The Determination,

Today I Remembered The Tears,
The Laughter,
The Hugs,
The Faith,
The Heart,
The Peace,
The Comfort,

Today I Remembered The Sacrifice,

Today I Remembered 9/11,

Today I Remembered I Live Because Of It All,

Today I Remembered I Live For ALL of Them,

Today I Remembered, So That Others Will Remember,

Every Day I Remember To Love,
Because Tomorrow……….
