Back in 2014 I saw this quote in the news and thought enough of it to write it down in my journal. Here's a fuller version of the quote.
“The dead were and are not. Their place knows them no more and is ours today... The poetry of history lies in the quasi-miraculous fact that once, on this earth, once, on this familiar spot of ground, walked other men and women, as actual as we are today, thinking their own thoughts, swayed by their own passions, but now all gone, one generation vanishing into another, gone as utterly as we ourselves shall shortly be gone, like ghosts at cockcrow"

You're stronger than anyone could ever imagine. You endure and tolerate everything, not many are capable.
I want to tell you that only you, know the true meaning of love and life. You deserve happiness, not criticism. You deserve all the good in the world, wish there was one day amongst many for you to be weak and let us, your products, spoil you.
Today September 11, a day that about 3,000 people lost their lives to the devasting acts of terrorists. Let's take the time for a moment of silence as we reflect on those who lost sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, wives, husbands, children, cousins, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, friends, etc. Those in the Twin Towers who didn't even know what happened, the Pentagon who were reminded why they chose the military life, and those on Flight 93 who all became heroes showing who showed the terrorists don't mess with America. Remember and give thanks to the first responders who showed no fear as they unselfishly entered dangerous areas to help others. Together at one time, we came together as one, Let's come back together as one America not only today but tomorrow, etc. After all, no matter your race, religion, sex, color, etc. we stand as a nation and should come together to make the world a better place for all.
