Another Thing to Never Forget

As we look back upon a fateful day that we will never forget, it’s important to look forward as well.

September 11, 2001 is a day we will never forget. We remember where we were, what we were doing, and how we felt as the events of 9/11 unfolded. We honor the lives lost, the families forever changed, the first responders who ran toward danger, and the countless acts of courage and compassion that emerged during one of America’s darkest days.

But as we commemorate 9/11, perhaps there is something else worth remembering: how quickly we reached out to the people we loved, how willingly we came to one another’s aid, and how our hearts softened toward each other. In a world that can feel increasingly divided, the legacy of September 11 can remind us that kindness is still a choice. Compassion is still a choice. Love is still a choice. Never forget the lives. Never forget the courage. Never forget the kindness. And never forget that between me and you is love—as we go boldly into the great unknown.
