I can't believe its been 5 years

So yeah, it was 5 years ago, I can't believe that horrible day has already hit its 5 year anniversary. Somedays I still can't believe it even happened. I didn't know anyone there and don't even know anyone who knew someone there. I think its so easy for us all to put some distance between us and what happened. In some ways, after it happened, some had to. All that death and sadness was so hard to handle, day after day. BUT, now, I think we have to be careful not to keep that distance. We need to remember what happened. We need to not embrace a false sense of security. We need not forget those who sacrificed their lives to try to save others. We need not forget all of those innocent people who never deserved to have their lives taken in such a horrible manner. We need not forget that such evil exists and is prevalent today.

I hate it all.
