๐บ๐ธ Never Forget ๐บ๐ธ
25 years ago, thousands of people went to sleep expecting September 11, 2001, to be an ordinary Tuesday.
Passengers packed for morning flights.
Parents prepared for work.
Firefighters went to bed knowing another shift waited in the morning.
Police officers and paramedics prepared to report for duty.
Families said goodnight with every expectation that they would see one another again.
None of them knew how profoundly the world would change before the morning was over.
And maybe that is one of the many things September 11 continues to remind us:
๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ-๐ข๐ง. ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐. ๐๐จ๐งโ๐ญ ๐ญ๐๐ค๐ ๐ญ๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐.
Let go of the petty things.
Chase the dream.
Never miss the goodnight kiss.
Say the โI love you.โ
Tell your first responder before shift. During shift. After shift.
Make the phone call.
Hold your people a little longer.
Because every breath matters.
Every conversation matters.
Every ordinary goodbye matters.
Twenty-five years later, may we still remember.

And may we never forget how, in the days that followed, people reached for one another.
Twenty-five years later, may we honor September 11 not only by remembering how many lives were lostโ
but by remembering how precious the lives beside us are.
Never forget. ๐บ๐ธ
