911. Balancing a Good News Bad News Day. The Country Remembers

On this September 11th, 19 years after the terror attacks on our country back in 2001, the Nation remembers the day tragedy struck home. We remember the First Responders. We remember the lives that were lost. We remember the families that were forever changed & we remember the loved ones that won't be coming home.

But the living need to keep living.

How do we reconcile the terrible things we see with the good in the world?

Consider this.

What if 911 was your BIRTHDAY???

Every day is somebody's Birthday.

What if there was an Earthquake on your Birthday? A Hurricane? An act of War like 911?

My Dad was born on 9/11/1942.

Should you able to celebrate a happy occasion in your life or should your birthday be forever ruined by a national tragedy???

So this post is kind of late in the day being posted - after wiping my tears & collecting my thoughts & searching for an appropriate image for this post, I thought I would start with my thoughts from my personal Facebook Page. Many of my ideas come directly from here:
