Yesterday was September 11, a day that is forever stamped in the memories of most Americans. Although we personally may not have lost a loved one, our country lost something that day–the sense of security that we had always felt on our own soil.
Besides remembering the ones who were lost in this great tragedy, September 11 is always a good time to reflect on the importance of the people in your life. In reality, each time one of your loved ones leaves the house, there is no guarantee that you will ever see them again. Tragedies happen all the time and you never know when one will strike you.
Make it a habit to never let your close family or friends leave without telling them you love them. Try not to fight just before someone leaves. That last memory has the ability to haunt you forever if something bad does happen. Make a positive memory that will comfort you when you need it in the future. Appreciate the people you have while you have them.
