Here is a man mourning the death of his son 10 years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. I was only two years old when the planes attacked the twin towers on September 11, 2001 early at the morning, and although I cannot personally recall the attacks because I was so young, I will forever remember the lasting hurting effects it has had on our nation ever since. This image captures the hurt, the pain, and the heartbreak experienced by so many on that tragic morning. It is crazy for me to think that those thousands of people were just going about their day. It started off just like any other day for them, they were going to their jobs, just like they did every other day. The last thing they would have expected would have been the heartbreak that laid ahead of them that day. It is so scary to me how we never know when something could go wrong at any moment. It really puts into perspective and reminds me how I am not in charge, I have no control, God has all the power and I need to trust in him. This day has had a lasting impact on the hearts of many, even those who were too young to remember it like myself, and it forever will remain that way. The hurt and heartbreak people experienced that day is something that could never be forgotten.
I've thought of that, too, how it seemed like any normal day, that those people left for work not knowing they'd never come back home...
