9/11

Today is a sad day. The tragedy of what happened 9 years ago still haunts our minds. The cries of the loved ones are still decipherable. I was 7 when 9/11 happened, so I had no idea [naturally] of what was going on. But I can say that loss of innocent lives because of another supposedly human being is the worst tragedy of all. When your kind kills you, that is what hurts the most. Losing your loved ones is never easy but imagine you get a phone call from your newly married husband telling you he is alive, for now, but the building is collapsing and he won’t be able to come home that night. Imagine a single mom calling her 5 year old to say goodbye forever. I can’t even imagine the magnitude of that pain. And when a tragedy happens all you can do is pray for the victimized and try to find a ray of hope in that darkness. It was a very sad day indeed, and not just for the people affected but for everyone around the globe. It changed our lives, all of us have been targeted. Although we can’t feel the immensity of your pain, our hearts still ache. We all still wish we could erase that day somehow. So here’s a sixteen year old Muslim-Pakistani girl praying for the people who were affected by this tragedy. I hope your strength and courage to bear the loss never fades and that your loved ones rest in peace. Amen.
