9/11 oh how the years go by

So for everyone who knows me, they will know I was affected BIG time by the 9/11 to a point where I was moved to get a tattoo the other year. This year I not been able to sum up my feelings in words...I've left it the whole day and still i'm clueless...So instead I donned my hoodie and necklace. Gave a minute silence and sang the star spangled banner. 

9/11 - we will never forget 
R.I.P to all who lost the lives in the attack
I pray and send love to all those directly and non directly affected by such evil. 

I believe that LOVE is the answer and I believe that one day John Lennon will be right and the world will live as one. 



Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!


United we stand.

9/11 NEVER FORGET

Today is a day of remembrance to remember those who fell during the 9/11 
To remember the evil and gut wrenching horror of what was playing across our screens world wide
To remember the beautiful towers, innocently standing in new york city
To the pentagon
To the people on the four doomed planes...planes that are meant to take people to new places bring us happiness, not to be used against other human beings as a weapon of torture. 
To the people who lost their lives in the towers, the panic they must have felt..having such little hope they jump out the windows, because that would be better than staying inside this horrible mess that was left of a building. 
To the people who lost their lives trying to help, trying to SAVE lives...you are heroes...thank you, thank you for your courage, you saved many lives, in some cases sacrificing your own to do so.. 
To the victims friends and families, for all the heartache you have felt over the past ten years and for the heartache that is to come...
To the world...one day...i believe we will rise above this and become a better place. One day i believe...but for now we remember the past, and event which we cannot change and has impacted the world as we know it. 

Today, where ever you may be, i ask you to do something, just give a minute to think about the families and victims of this horrible evil tragedy...Most of you will come down to breakfast today sit and eat with the family as if everything is normal, it IS normal, please think about the families who have one, if not more empty places at their table now..to the families lighting a candle and praying for their loved ones comfort in heaven.
Today i am sure will be filled with TV programs and news shows live from new york, there will be a silence, please please, no matter what you are doing, put everything down and observe it.... you are alive, you have your life, and these people had theirs taken away, please please consider them and remember them as you go about your day. 

I also ask for a lesson to be learnt from this, and perhaps this is the only good thing that could ever come out of this tragedy...you never....know what is going to happen, make the most of your time with people, you never know when you will see them again. The families the 9/11 affected, it was a normal day for them, within seconds one event changed that forever...thank about...don't take anyone or anything for granted. 

I am sitting here trying so hard to even see what i am typing behind my tears, i really do pray for all the victims to be at peace, and i pray that whoever it is up there helps us to stop this kind of madness and to find peace within each other instead of war.

9/11, we will never forget that's for certain. There will always be an empty space in the New York skyline filled now by two beautiful beams of light...all that remains to remember by.

America, you are in my heart and thoughts constantly today..god bless you all. I wish i had arms big enough to extend over the seas and hug you all... 

I wish i could bring you the comfort you all deserve 

God Bless you all.

World trade centres

Here is a little something i wrote about the world trade centres 

10 years ago today
It's been a decade so they say 
It seems like only yesterday that the world changed forever
Stopped...came to a halt. 

Two high buildings standing magnificent and tall 
Together they were strong, they seemed invincible
Two Majestic buildings
Standing in the beautiful New York City. 
Invincible...standing tall...

But that was about to change
You see on that late summer day, September the 11th
Lives and Families were torn away. 
The deafening roar of the engine
The devastating explosion and smoke 
People burning, People dying
Jumping out windows no where to go.

And still ten years later we look back upon this day 
With our hand upon ours hearts
Standing and we pray
Please God if there is a heaven 
Let these people know we will never forget 
And from our thoughts they are never absent


September the 11th 2001
The day the world stood still 
We never will forget the fallen 
God bless. x

Ten years tomorrow

My heart is breaking. Tomorrow is ten years..ten years and nothing has changed, the 9/11 is still affecting people...still tearing apart lives, and breaking down families which are already broken beyond repair. I'm sitting crying my eyes out this is affecting me so much, the 9/11 never gets better...every year the whole world goes into mourning again as if it was happening all over again...
I found this vvideo, it's a ten year tribute to the 9/11 victims and i wanted to share it with my readers...please pass this on..

Nothing even related to this video, there was a story about a young girl on TV whom refuses to marry her boyfriend because her father is not there to walk her down the isle, is that not proof how much this is affecting people..I am just SO happy she has her boyfriend who understands her, she certainly deserves it.
I can't believe it...I can't believe it's ten years...
Next year when i am in America i would  love to visit ground zero, I'm pretty sure that will happen, and that i will get to be there at some point even if it is only for a day...
I don't know, what is crazy, is that i'm not religious, i don't even know if i believe in god or not, but i want to go there and pray for the lives that have been lost...I think i need closure, just to be there and be able to really see the place and send my infinite love...it will help me maybe get over it... 
I know it's stupid because I'm not American nor do i even know anyone who died in the tragedy, i am just a person who loves everyone and hates to see people hurting, i mourn even when i don't know the victims personally...i know thats bad and i'm sorry. I just thing that human beings should be decent to each other and not hurt eachother all the time, i wish people would lay down their guns, knifes, and bombs and everything destructive hold hands and vow world peace... I guess it's one of those things I'm gonna keep wishing for though that will never happen. 
What sickens me to the core is that there are now even more threats for tomorrow, that more places are going to be bombed, that planes are going to be taken over, people being held hostage, i mean WHAT THE HELL. You have put this world and the people on it though enough and on one of the hardest days of the year you want to go and make it worse by installing fear into everyone...yeah...nice move..It really does make me sick. I don't even want to be alive sometimes i am so ashamed of this planet and some of the evil human beings on it. 
May god bless the families, the victims and America... 
I love you all xxxx
