911 has always been a meaningful number for me. I mean, heck, we learn at an early age to call 911 for help. I also spent most of my childhood (and almost all that I remember) at 911 S. 47th Street. But the 254th day of 2001 still affects me on the 254th day of 2017. 9/11/17 takes 9/11 to a different level as a number. What a day, I remember it as if it were yesterday and I am inspired to never forget. I pray for all the people who lost loved ones and friends. I am thankful that my dad was safe on that day, and know we are so lucky for that. And, once again, I am also inspired to remember the first responders on that day - those that ran TOWARDS and INTO the towers as all others ran away and out. Those that served (and still serve) overseas and within our borders to keep our country as safe as possible. And I am inspired to work towards peace and understanding, instead of violence and prejudice. #NeverForget.
