Tribute in Light: Following the attacks of September 11th, the skyline of New York has been lit up on every anniversary since with 88 searchlights to mark where the Twin Towers used to stand. Tomorrow, on the 10th anniversary, the lights will be turned on for the last time.
Ten Years Later: A Tribute 9/11
My favorite 9/11 tribute in New York City can be found in Bryant Park. 2,819 empty chairs on the lawn facing the site where the World Trade Center once stood, one chair for every life lost. The number of empty chairs captures the enormity of the lives lost and the stark emptiness of it just drives home the point that I hope is never forgotten. 2,819 people were here one moment and gone the next. 2,819 went to work or boarded a plane one morning ten years ago thinking it would be another ordinary day and they never came home.
this will not make your blog ugly.
reblog if you care.
Can you please never ever forget me? Can you please always remember that I’m the girl who cries over A walk to remember no matter how many times we watched it? Can you plase remember that girl who can finish 4 slices of new york pizza while talking about Harry Potter? Can you please never forget the girl who always sings on the shower no matter how late she is? Can you please never forget the girl who wastes her time reading fanfiction about insane pairings that never ends up? Can you please never forget the girl who laughs the hardest at her own jokes? Can you please never forget the girl who sings along with the weird radio commercial even if she always tells you she hates it? Can you please never forget the girl who thinks ice cream is the answer to life’s problems? Can you? Please.
It’s okay to be happy, to be free. I just don’t wanna be forgotten.
