Today I remember those we have lost in this war... and why it all began. I'm very proud of our military. My heart & prayers are with them and their families. Thank you for your many sacrifices. Today we feel some justice has been served for those lost in the 9/11 attacks and since that horrible day. Even with the heartbreak of losing a friend in this war, I'm not celebrating. Am I glad this terrorist is no longer hurting innocent people? Yes, I am relieved. Yet I think about one thing. When we lost our loved ones, they cheered & celebrated. It makes me sick to think of them celebrating our loved ones deaths.
No matter how innocent or evil, is it okay to celebrate a death?
I'll leave you with a powerful quote that has been floating around Facebook this evening...
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
