I saw a comment on one of the few 9/11 posts I’ve seen so far today asking, “I am genuinely asking, what does ‘never forget’ mean?” I actually think this was being asked from a heartfelt place and it made me take pause and reflect. For me, this means to never forget the lives lost and why they were lost – the men who had their own set of fears of Americans flying the planes. It means remembering to lift one another up as we did in the days following those tragic events. It means interacting with one another from a place of love, acceptance, and empathy. It means dissolving the fear that created the travesty in the first place, not succumbing to it and adding more fuel to its fires.
