Hello,
I have never posted before on this site. But, wanted to say hello to everyone out there and that I hope Americans and America can get the strength to overcome this difficult time in trouble and need.
Before today, I thought the economy of the United States, such as unemployment and the stock market were already in need of help. It is sad that more tragedy has to come at such a hard time already. Sometimes, things come in stages, and we are being tested at this trying time.
I wish problems could be resolved without War and that we could somehow work together to get through this. I think today makes one realize how precious life is and that anything can happen at anytime. Nothing is certain, nor is life itself.
I live in Cincinnati, Ohio and there were race riots here in the summer, due to white police shooting blacks. It was a very sad event to go through and still is. Many people are out of work here, like they are in many other states. The Downtown of Cincinnati has not really recovered the after effects still linger. I know it will probably take years for New York to rebuild it self over this tragedy.
I hope someday all this destruction that has occured can somehow help us to work together in the end. Many times there are no answers why things happen, and that is the hardest thing to accept in itself.
I hope God blesses you all and your families and everyone in this time of tragedy.
As Prince says,"May U Live 2 See the Dawn". "Cause in this life, things are much harder than the afterworld".
God Bless,
Jill
