Walk On - U2

My father was killed on the 101st floor of the South tower during the attacks. I was only eight years old when this happened. Everything was so confusing, I didn't really know what to think. Instead of everything hitting me all at once on 9/11, I suffered through a gradual understanding of what had happened that changed my family forever. But now, looking back, as horrible a tragedy as 9/11 was, so many positive things have come out of the situation. Because of 9/11, my relationship with God over the past years has grown increasingly stronger and much more sincere. Knowing that not only God but also my father are always with me makes me more confident and sure of the person that I am. 9/11 was ten years in the past: it's over, it doesn't exist. The only thing that matters is what is happening right now, the present moment. If there is one thing I have learned, it is that we cannot get caught up in things that simply no longer exist. We've got to Walk On.
