AWish

Over the past week, I have been blown away how we have come together. As a nation, we have set aside our differences and reached out to take multigenerational hands of every culture, showing that deep in the American Spirit, we are truly of one same heart. The writer in me has been stunted, for no words can trulu express my sorrow, my outrage, and-yet even today-my hope .
I looked in the eyes of my four year old son a few moments ago and do you know what I wished for above everything else? That I was raising a hero. That someday he would become the kind of man that would cast aside his personal safety for the well being of others.
That I raised a man who, when he puts away his building blocks, in years to come, shall be the kind of man who will be the building block of our future. These are the same kind of men and women we lost on September 11th.These are the men and women we need to honor by one day, although we can never replace them, gift them by giving the world men and women of similar character and strength
Now this is the time to reach out to those you don't know. Cast a smile for a stranger, hold the hand of your fellow man, and be the shoulder for the others to lean upon. Above all, this will not beat us.
It can't. For if we do not take pleasure in everyday, laugh at every moment, and love for every second, then we have truly lost.
Peace*Hope*Understanding.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
Infact, God bless all of us. Be kind to one another, for we are what makes this Geat Nation strong. Now let's reach out and do the same for the entire world.
