Today is September 11th.
Such a sad day in our lives. A day that has changed my life forever in the way I look at the world. After 9-11 I joined the American Red Cross and was later deployed to NYC. I was stationed out there in Feb/March of 2002. I worked as a mental health worker. So many months after the attacks, and the city was still in shambles, it looked, smelled and felt like a war zone. Some of the people I helped STILL had not come out of their apartment since that day. I think of these people often, I wonder how they are doing today.
I hope that everyone takes just a moment of your day to think about the lives that were lost, but mostly about the lives that went on without their loved ones. That is the true tragedy.
