The other day I was watching the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 and all the emotions of that day came flooding back. It made me wonder why was this moment in history so emotional for me. It didn't happen in Canada and I didn't know anyone who died in those towers. Then it dawned on me, I was emotional because of the evil that was displayed was real life. No longer are we protected by a TV screen or the pages of a book, this evil was real and no super powered person was going to come save the day. This is real and it truly scared me.
Seeing the images of people jumping from the towers and hearing the helicopter pilots sadness of not being able to get to the roofs to help evacuate has made me realize that life is too short and that the world kept moving. Here is the amazing part, I didn't know of the great boat evacuation. That was an amazing way to show those Evil creatures what true humanity is about. Those boats didn't have to help, they didn't need to risk their lives, but they did...why? because it was the right thing to do.
So, here is my plea, Goderich was struck by Tornado a few weeks ago that have levelled their down town. Sure air planes didn't hit it, but nature did and these people need our help. Donate to your red cross, go there to help with the clean up...world may keep moving along, but we can stop and lend a helping hand.
