Those of us that have lost a loved one unexpectedly know all too well the truth of this poem.
I know each of us has our own 9/11 story but mine occurred a few months earlier on 6/10/01. That's the day my 14 year old son died in an ATV accident. So on 9/11/01, I was enveloped in my own grief and unable to relate to the horror of the day. I honestly don't know what I was doing that day, except that I was busy going over all of the 'If I knew.....' scenarios trying to make peace with myself, others and make sense out of the situation. Over the past few years I've been reminded, several times, that God is control of the universe not me and that all I'm suppose to do is love my family and my neighbor. God will take care of the rest. Please ask yourself if the 'last words' you've spoken with an individual are the 'correct words' you've spoken. Nothing says 'I Love You' quite like 'I Love You' even if you disagree or are angry. And no amount of 'being right' can overcome all of the 'If I knew......s' in a lifetime. May God's Love Be With You And Be Expressed By You, Always, T. Scott Inman |
