9/11

Hello Everyone.

So today is the anniversary of 9/11, and I thought I would talk about it.

I personally didn't know anyone that passed away or went through this disaster. I can't imagine the pain and suffering others have gone through and I am sorry that you did.

I watched this video today. It has very compelling questions that I sometimes wonder.  Very first question it asks is "What would you do in the last hour of your life" Followed by "Where would you be?" "Who would remember you?" "What would it look like?".

After watching this video I have thought about it. What WOULD I do? It's a big question with many possibilities. If I was in a situation like 9/11, I would like to think I would help as much as I possibly could. On the other hand, I think I could freeze up.

I guess what I am saying is, is that I don't know what I would do. Anything is a possibility. Unknown.

 As for the other questions, my ideal place to be would be with as many friends and family as I possibly could. I would want it to look like I had lived a good life for as however long it was. I wouldn't want people crying for me, I would want them to have fun. Heck, I can imagine having a karaoke party or sit and watch movies, have a picnic. After I had gone, it would be up to those who knew me whether they  want to remember me or not. I only really care for family and friends. I would want them to remember me, but won't hold any hard feelings if they didn't. For people, random strangers, I suppose it would be nice if they remember me, but I really wouldn't need it. It's not like I need or want them to. But again, it'd be up to them.

Anyways. Those are my thoughts.

To end this blog, I just want to thank all those who helped. The police officers, the firefighters, the volunteers, the dogs. Thank you.

To those who died, the loved ones, you will never be forgotten. I hope you all have found peace wherever you may have gone.

To the families and friends who lost someone, I am truly sorry. I only hope that maybe you can forgive the horrors of what others have done and find peace.

Until next time
