9/11

(please only read this if you fully understand the attacks on 9/11 or are 12+)

Life isn't fair.

This is something I learned and I realize that we can never change this fact. Not everything is going to go your way and we have to accept that.

But no one can accept 9/11. Especially me. It haunts me, like a nightmare, I wish I could tell myself that it never happened, but it did and I will spend the rest of my life trying to understand and appreciate the 9/11 attacks.

I don't personally know anyone who died that day. Some people say that 'somebody knew somebody' but not me, at least I think so. However, I feel like I know that people in the photographs, the people who died that day, or people who were heroes who made it out alive along with many more people they saved.

I am holding back tears as I am writing this, because to an average joe like me, it's upsetting. It's terrible to know that innocent people died, and worse, that foreigners would do this just to say, "You aren't as strong as you think you are." It's terrible and even more terrible that children died that day- those who were the planes going to visit grandma or go on a vacation. Those innocent lives changed, and they couldn't defend themselves, they couldn't call anyone or do anything, they just snuggled up next to their parents.

So God Bless, I hope all of the innocent are rejoicing and having a great time in heaven. I hope that they are in no more pain.

Before I finish this post, I want to talk about the failed attempt to crash into the Capitol. This was one of the bravest moments in American history, and I want to say thank you to the men who took on the foreigners and instead tried to land the plane in a Pennsylvania airfield. Still everyone's lives were lost, I just want to say thank to those men. And thank you to others who risked their lives to save others.

Thank you and God Bless,
Gabby
