For 15-years I have shed tears on 9/11. I re-watch the footage, read accounts of the day, read stories of loss and heartache beyond measure.

I made a choice not to post here or on social media yesterday, choosing to post instead today on 9/12.

One of the greatest people I have ever met taught me the value in acknowledging loss after the fact, a ways down the road, that time when people tend to move forward – forgetting that others may still be struggling with grief.

As life propels us forward, remember that grief ebbs and flows. Grief can be a daily battle or a struggle during certain times of the year. Let’s be mindful of each other, let’s give grace and patience, because the deepest of pains often can’t be seen. And let’s remember that we are surrounded by beautiful people. We are inherently good.

Thank you to all of the people who showed up in boats to rescue a half-million people 15-years ago — your acts of bravery and kindness are inspiring.
