December 8

There are moments in time that we will try to erase, and actions that we would rather not remember. There will be logic unexplainable and motives indescribable. There will be men of obloquy, and there will be days that will, in fact, live in infamy. And sometimes it will seem that only hatred and devastation abound. We must remember those times; those people and those days - for forgetting them allows us to ignore the suffering that desperate hatred can cause.

But also, let us not forget about rebuilding, regrowth and learning to re-trust. Let us not forget about getting up off the dirt and starting anew. There will always be a new day looming ahead, not meant to replace the past. But giving us a chance to start again.

I will remember and honor December 7th. But I look for a promising December 8th.
