Twenty years ago, on 9/11, I remember a friend calling me in the morning with the tragic news. For weeks, many of us were glued to the TV trying to process the aftermath, laden with stories of loss and heroism. Looking back at it now, I’m reminded that tomorrow is not guaranteed. And life shouldn’t be taken for granted. We need to make every moment count and do what matters most. On this day of remembrance, we honor heroes and survivors who remind us that kindness is what carries us. –Guri
