We Will Always Remember


Today is September 11, 2008. 7 years ago our country experienced horrific events that will forever be embedded in our hearts and minds. I never had one of those "remember when" moments prior to 9-11. I was too young for Kennedy's assassination and 5 years old when Challenger exploded. September 11th is and will always be one of those memories that I will always remember what I did that day, where I was when I heard the news, and exactly how I felt. I pray for all of the families who lost loved ones and praise the heroes of that day. Today's remembrance brings a song to mind from the musical "Carousel". To the many people who lost their lives 7 years ago and to their families, know that "You'll Never Walk Alone."

When you walk through a storm
hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

Beautifully said. I can't stop thinking about the lost potential of all the people lost on that day. And all because of hatred.

Sometimes, this world doesn't work the way I wish it would.
