A Time for Remembrance

Today is the ninth anniversary of 9/11. The question everyone always asks is, "Where were you? What were you doing?" etc. when you the planes hit the towers. I always find that question to be weird. Of course people are going to remember where they were, who they were with, what they were doing. It's the single most defining point of this country's modern history.

Today is not just a day to mourn, although of course that's what we do today. Today should also be day to remember and celebrate. Celebrate and remember the people who died, the heroes who rose, and the stories of everyone affected by today. But it's also a day to celebrate your own life and remember the small things. I took my son to the park today and pushed him on the swings. I made a memory today that won't hurt to look on back on.

I think if everyone did that today they'd be honoring the victims and survivors of 9/11 just as well as any ceremony.
