I’ve never been into the “hold your flags and be proud to be american on 9/11” thing… But I still cry multiple times on this day thinking about the stories of people who lost theirs lives, of families and lives changed, of people who held on to each other and helped save lives. People who showed how strong and compassionate they could be - how much humans could shine with good when challenged and fully encompassed with dust and fire and hatred.

It is incredible how powerful and amazing people can be when they focus their energy on doing good. I hope every day that people will think, will make the conscious choice to put a little good into the world - not just on a day of remembrance.
