Most everyone in the United States of America or across the world spent the day remembering.
Remembering where or what you were doing when the World Trade Center was attacked.
It ends up being a day of remembering and a day of normalcy. The day, for the most part, was like every other normal day. It was productive and nothing exciting happened.
And that may be what I am most grateful for.
I was watching television and trying to not notice the boxes stored in my living room.
The ones I brought up from the garage just in case... which ended up being the right decision.
Life is beginning to feel like mine again. As I am watching television I hear the notification go off on my phone.
I debated getting up to check the message but decided to in case it was an emergency.
It was from my sister, saying that if I needed anything, please let her know and that she loved me.
And in that moment my life was perfect.
Reminding me that I am never alone no matter how much I may feel like I am.
That even when my world feels chaotic and turned upside down.
All is perfect because of the love shared between all of us.
So instead of remembering where I was when 9/11 happened, I am remembering the love I felt on that day and every day since then.
Today I am grateful to have witnessed our country coming together, united, strong and compassionate, may we always be this way.
