 In loving memory 9/11
For many of us, tomorrow is a day that will evoke many feelings. So for all that was touch by the tragedy my sympathies to you all, and to know that you are all in my thoughts. 

I find an old photograph
and see your smile.
As I feel your presence anew,
I am filled with warmth
and my heart remembers love.

I read an old card
sent many years ago
during a time of turmoil and confusion.
The soothing words written then
still caress my spirit
and bring me peace.

I remember who you used to be
the laughter we shared
and wonder what you have become.
Where are you now,
Where did you go,
When the body is left behind
and the spirit is released to fly?

Perhaps you are the morning bird
singing joyfully at sunrise,
or the butterfly that dances
so carelessly on the breeze
or the rainbow of colors
that brightens a stormy sky
or the fingers of afternoon mist
delicately reaching over the mountains
or the final few rays of the setting sun
lighting up the skies
edging the clouds with a magical glow.

I miss your being
but I feel your presence,
In whatever form you choose to take,
however you now choose to be.

Your spirit has become for me
a guardian angel on high
guiding, advising, and watching over me.
I remember you.
You are with me
and I am not afraid.

I just got the chills. I, for one, will never forget the events of 9/11/2001 and will never be the same.

Thank you for sharing this. This is beautiful. This day is definitely a day I believe all of us will never forget.

Here in Ireland our local radio station has been playing music and taking calls from people who just want to express our sympathies for all that happened on that day. It has been really touching and my thoughts are with all the bereaved today.
