Move On

No, not the political organization. The act. As in move on with your life. My brother was killed because he and his friends decided to drink and drive. I mourned, I moved on. From time to time I experience some sadness because I loved my brother and I miss him. But I’ve moved on.

In 2003 I lost 6 people important to my life. All within 6 months. I mourned, I moved on. From time to time I experience some sadness because I loved my friends and relatives. But I’ve moved on.

In 2001 our country was attacked, and over 3000 people died. None of them had any connection to me other than most of them were Americans. Others were Foreign Nationals. In any case, they were not important to me in any manner like my brother, my relatives, and my friends. I’ve moved on.

It seems this date is used more to justify hate and negate love. It is used to sell fear and win votes. It is used for anything but healing. I’d really like us to heal, please. Enough about fear, terror, and hate. We can’t heal if we continue to be afraid. I am tired of hearing about how we are supposed to be afraid. I want to hear from my leaders how we are to heal.

It really is time for us to heal as a country. 15 years is long enough to mourn.
