Weekly Quote: Remembering 9/11
"Not a day passes over the earth but men and women of no note do great deeds, speak great words, and suffer noble sorrows." ~ Charles Reade
Today, every American is remembering the attacks of September eleventh. If they forgot, they need only one look at the news to be reminded. There are memorials taking place all over the nation, to remember the people who died that day, and in the days after.
Charles Reade said that there are men and women of no note who do great things every day. Maybe some of those men and women got the recognition they deserved in 9/11. I hope so.
But on this day when we remember those who got hurt, those who died, those who lost loved ones, let's not forget the unsung heroes that are still with us. Despite the horrible things that have happened, let's pick up the pieces and find some good in this - even if it's only with a newly awakened sense of those we love that are still with us.
If there's only one good thing that's come about because of the attacks on 9/11, let it be that we all appreciate life a little more. It is precious, and can be taken from us in an instant.
