13 years to mourn
Yet the grief is still as real
13 years to heal
Yet the wounds remain fresh
13 years to feel
Yet we see compassion turn to contempt
They say Never Forget
Tell me? How could We?
Always Remember?
Yet some memories continue to fail
Take a step back today
Pause from your agenda
Your propaganda
Remember what is truly important
Not politics or bickering
Certainly not hate
13 years to the day
Remember love
Remember sympathy
Allow yourself to feel
13 years to the day, remember to pray for those irreparably broken

Thank you for this, Chris. So important. Peace.
Thank you 🙂
Oh yes, I could I forget. I remember waking up and my mom calling me to see the news. Truly horrifying.
Today is also my hubby’s birthday. What a date to be remembered eh.
Wow, that is sad his happy day will always have tinge of grief attached to it 😦
It was a week after we had filed my visa application to move to the US
You’re from the UK right?
At least my hubby is Brazilian, and I’m Canadian, so there’s no such a heaviness.
🙂
That’s good to not have such a heaviness 🙂
Yes I am from the UK, my wife I got engaged at the end of the August right before 9/11. Even though I wasn’t directly involved it deeply affected me & always will. Somehow with it being right after I had decided to move to the US it was more personal for me than other incidents.
I wrote a post on it last year:
