go on with life?

last nite when i turned on the tv for the first time. i watched the story of a girl whose step father was on that second plane went into the world trade center. he took that plane to california to attend her wedding. her mother sold many stocks to get enough money for his trip. after the incident, the daughter deemed thoroughly and decided to continue with the wedding which was scheduled for today. her mom told her, her step father would never want her cancel the wedding for any reason. go on with life.. when the journalist interviewed her, she couragously said she wanted to show the terrorists that they were not powerful enough to panic her, to make the supposed best day of her life go away. she will enjoy the wedding as it’s planned. i was very touched by her words.

there is no doubt that deep it our hearts, there’s something missing.. something not quite right… but we do need to go on with our normal lives and be able to enjoy things around us as much as before, shouldn’t we?

to the girl and her family: congratulations!

  1. *touched* Wow… I didn’t see that story, but it must be the wedding pictures I found on yahoo.. *sigh* I’m trying to move on. It hurts when I look back on what’s been happening. I keep thinking about the children with no parents, how surviors must go on with their lives and practically start from scratch… how rescuers risked their own lives to save others, and how could something like this happen in the first place… *sigh* I saw many touching stories on TV…. the familes looking for their loved ones – they had so much hope in their eyes… and weren’t willing to give up. I pray for them and their families and friends. My heart goes out to them. I will try to move on. It will take some time… I’ll move on, but I will never forget the horrible things that have been happening…

  2. I totally agree. If we let the terrorists know that they’ve disoriented us completely, they’ve won so much more than they ever thought they would. I find, tho, that every day it only gets sadder for me because I’m less in shock. My prayers go out to all the victims and their families.

  3. Aww.. I saw that interview. And there was another one about how this couple had just had triplets and the father, who worked in the WTC, got to work late because he stayed to help his wife feed the babies and it turned out that because he had stayed late, he’d arrived on the scene after the first plane had crashed.

    I don’t know.. I guess there’s an amount of guilt in anything I find happiness in.. especially when I think of all the kids who lost their parents.. I can’t imagine losing mine..

  4. That’s so heartbreaking! She’s so right, though. It was a terrible tragedy, but we can’t live in the past. We have to move forward and show the terrorists how strong we really are.

  5. Oh, that’s so sad. I’m glad she decided to stand up for what she believed. She must be hurting so much though. Oh god, that is just terrible. To her and her family, god bless.
