United 93

Two nights ago, Ray and I watched the movie United 93. If you have not watched this movie, I recommend it; however, I must warn you that if you are emotional as I am you will cry. There were two things that really made me lose it. The first thing was seeing the footage of the planes hitting the towers. This actually surprised me because I knew what was going to happen. I had seen it so many times before over the years, yet the moment the planes struck the towers, I lost it. Perhaps it has something to do with what caused me to lose it, reason number two: Here you see all these people talking on the phone, making plans, not realizing that soon their lives would be over. Yes, it happens everyday; most people have no idea when they will die. We all make plans, call our families, and tell them we're on our way home, and some of us don't make it. But I knew these people were about to die, and that affected me. It really put things in perpective how special our "today" moments are, how special "now" is to us, how precious our life is.

Today we remember the lives of those lost that day and remember how important today is in our own lives. Hug someone you love and tell them how much you love them. You never know if that will be the last time you ever talk to them again.
