Nine Eleven Twenty Twenty-Three

"The Power of Prayer" by Shanitra D.

I'm exhausted.  It seems like we have so many remembrance dates of the most tragic events in history and it is draining...

  

We need to start celebrating the lives of the people who have been lost instead of consistently mourning and remembering the horror of what happened.  At some point, the good memories need to outweigh the bad.

So this year on this date, I am going to think about all the great people that we've lost but I am going to celebrate their lives.  I am going to cut my music on, dance in honor of them, shed happy tears, and pray that all of those who are still here, have the courage to make what remains of this world a better place.

I hope today is a great day for everyone.  

I pray today is a peaceful day and everyone can find comfort today and always. 

Amen.
