"Being an obituary writer means I think a lot about loss, but more about love." – Heather Lende, “If You Lived Here, I’d Know Your Name”

Yesterday was the 15th anniversary of 911.

FaceBox was full of meaningful stories, prayers and moments as we all remembered this horrific event.

One thought about that day that has stuck with over the last few years is the stories about love.

The stories of love lost are tragic and heartbreaking.

I’m not sure we will ever really understand why it happened to them and not us. I don’t we will ever get the answers we all so desperately want about how and why.

But I think we do get the answer to what now.

Now we hold our loved ones closer.

Now we fight to protect as many possible.

Now we do our best with our chance at life to honor those who didn’t get the chance.

Now we love our neighbor as our self.

Make it a great day.
