“To the world you may be just another girl, but to me you are the world…”  I can’t seem to get these lyrics from Brad Paisley’s song out of my head today.  This morning I posted a quote from one of Claire’s teacher’s boards in her classroom.  It said, “Each of us can make a world of difference.”  That quote lead me to these lyrics.

Today is 9-11.  It’s been 12 years since the towers fell, the pentagon was hit, innocent lives were stolen and a plane full of passengers paid the ultimate price for one madman who wanted so badly to destroy our country.  Every person whose life was taken that day was the world to somebody.  They were a mother, a sister, a brother, a father, an uncle, a grandmother, a friend.  Most weren’t famous or rich, nor did the world revolve around them but to somebody they were the entire world.

So today, and always, remember that everyone you see means the world to somebody.

Oh, for the love of my children…
