To Never Forget. . .



Some events leave a scar that can never be fully healed. One catastrophe that still leaves me stunned when looking back is the World Trade Centers. Now I know that we have all heard the stories and reports a thousand times; and some have even put a deaf ear to the screams of horror. Yet, when looking back, it wasn't all that long ago, and the hurt and shock is still present.

Comparing the pain of the lost of the Trade Centers is not a lot different from the pain Jane Pittman experiences with the lost of her "adopted" son, Ned. Many people on 9/11 lost love ones and suffer each and everyday with the absence of them. Jane suffers the same pain with the murder of her son. The urge to kill the murder, to get back at the world, but yet the sense to move on. All of these mixed feeling that come with the death of a love one. The pain is experienced by individuals, families, and countries. Pain is something that we experience and is something that we deal with everyday.

If you think about it there is no other love as strong as the love between a mother and her child. I just can't imagine how those mothers cope with losing their child. I have lost my aunt who died of cancer when I was in seventh grade, but seriously, I just can't imagine how much sorrow and grief she is feeling.

I saw the movie World Trade Center, and it is sooooo good. Seriously, it is one of the best movies I have seen in a while. I cried the whole time though! At one point my hands were shaking and I went numb! I leaned over to ask my sister if she wanted a kleenex, but when I opened my mouth to ask her I just started to cry even harder! Don't let my tears keep you from watching the movie, because it is really good. The acting is excellent in it!Everyone should see it!
