5 Years ago Today...
It's one those things that can't really be put into words. Everyone feels how they feel about what happened and yet no one can really express it. The thing is though, that no one needs to. We all experienced what happened on September 11th 2001, whether directly or indirectly, and we all felt the impact that it had on the world. The fact that 5 years on, it still affects us all, (and there was no doubt that it would) even those of us with no real links to the events, shows just how much the world has changed. There is nothing I or anyone can say to make things seem better, or even to console, but on this day every year, if we can all just stop and think, as the families of the lost must do every day, about the events of that day and how an uncountable number of people banded together and became forever known as heroes in their own right, then nothing will really change, but it's definitely something.

Words can't capture it, but yours do very well. The one positive thing that seems to come out of many tragedies is the reminder that we are all the same under our skin. Sometimes we forget that, but as you said, if we would just stop and think and remember, then we just might have a chance.
