I received an inquiry why I hadn’t posted a September 11th memorial this year given it is the fifth anniversary of the attack.
I thought about what to do this year and decided to not revisit the photos or individuals: not because any of the pain or loss of those who no longer have their loved ones has diminished; rather the heroism and loss experienced that day is something that should be remembered throughout each year.
The strength of every person lost that day is celebrated in the lives of those left to carry on. Each person who looks to the future with a deep understanding of the past helps to keep their spirit alive.
