Never Forget by bare-nok

My family was struck very personally by the tragedy of 9/11. As young as I was, I will never forget the pain, fear & confusion that took my mind by storm when it all took place. It still kills me seeing two empty spots on the beautiful skyline I grew up loving so dearly.

I know most of you guys are decently younger than myself, so instead of lingering in my pain 15 years old today, I'm here to remind you all the meaning of "never forget" in relation to this sorrowful, historic day.

Never forget the pain we felt as individuals & a nation, but remember those loved ones who lost their lives or made the ultimate sacrifice to help others against impossible odds.

Never forget the victims & the web of sorrow that spilt forth from their great loss of life, whether it was their family, friends, coworkers, pets, or so on.

Never forget those who were impacted personally or secondarily, who upon this date are on thr verge of tears, tense & feel tight in the chest, hoping to get through the day without someone taking a jab at a still open wound.

Never forget the travesty that took place on September 11, 2001, but allow the villains' names & faces to slip into obscurity, their lives & motives becoming nothing more than a joke.

Never forget & never again.

I'm very sorry, I know this date is tough for very many people... Nothing like this should have happened or should ever happen again..
I hope everyone stays safe today.

Beautiful message. I really wish this never happened; everytime I think about it and what those people went through, it just makes me feel very bad.

Hey, it's me! Just saying I hope things are going well for you. And if you need someone to talk to, I'm always open!

Today was cool. My English teacher is starting to get into Eddsworld because of me, haha. She wants to see my animation... my animation!!! I never did show it to you, did I? I suppose I'll send you a link to it later. It's kinda late right now.

But yeah, I don't wanna babble on too much. I don't actually know if you're seeing these or how you feel about them. Hopefully you don't mind.

See you soon? Goodnight!
