You’re all here today because someone gave you strength, helped you, held you in the palm of their hand. God, Allah, Buddha, Gaga - whomever you pray to. They have helped you get here, and that should make you feel less alone, and less scared. Because it has been a scary 10 years. You were young children when you watched planes hit the World Trade Center. You quickly understood what it was like to feel out of control.
