Today is a very special day and I wasn't sure what I wanted to post. I wanted it to be perfect because it would feel wrong to post something random today. I realized the best way to make this post perfect is to be honest about my feelings.
I have gone through a roller coaster of emotions this year. Looking back, everything I have gone through emotionally is insignificant compared to the feelings associated with this date. I remember my feelings six years ago like it happened this morning. I remember the fear, the anxiousness, and then the sadness.
I also remember the pride I felt that day. As a country we huddled together to get through the tragedy. We grew stronger because of those feelings.
These words I put down in writing do not give my emotions justice. It would be impossible to express the mixture of feelings I feel today. I feel sadness, anger, pride, and love. Yes, love. I realize how much I am loved and how much I love those around me.
Anyone could have been on one of those planes that day or in those buildings. It is important to not take those you love for granted. They could be gone in an instant for any number of reasons. For that very reason, I recommend you tell someone you love how you appreciate them.
That's it. I can not get any more honest than this.
