Remembering 9-1-1

Every year when this date rolls around, 

I am heartbroken for those families and friends 

touched by the tragedy of 9-1-1. 

I am sorry for the loss this nation experienced, 

our loss of innocence. 

We had to face a whole new reality for our lives.

I hope we can use this tragedy to bring good 

into the hearts of our people and the world.

Some are trying to promote kindness on this day. 

Let's start with our community 

and be kind to each other 

even if it's opening a door for someone, 

smiling, or saying thank you

. 

That's a beginning.

Thank you for stopping in today during this time of reflection and renewal.

Sincerely,

Janet
