The Things We Lost

Today is 9/11, marking the tragedy that struck America 15 years ago. We remember, mourn, and relive the past reality. I think that even those who weren't explicitly affected were affected. The entire country felt the impact that 9/11 left. The heartbreak and the struggle were obvious. Today America remembers the people who lost their lives and those who lost family and friends. Even though It happened so long ago, no one will ever forget. Our upcoming generation will be told the story that will last a lifetime. Even though officials know a lot about 9/11 there will always be a void of knowledge.

I feel that 9/11 was an awakening moment for everyone. We can't ever erase what happened. 9/11 is proof that time heals all, but can't fix. Those who have loss have been healed by time, but the damage that has been done cannot be fixed by a mere measure of time. Whatever someone has lost, time can lessen but not eradicate. Today we join as brothers and sisters of America to remember those who have not been forgotten. Time heals, but does not erase. We will all remember until the end of time.
