Thanks for sharing. Didn't realize you'd posted my story. Its not all that unique unfortunately, but seeing his photo still makes me smile after all these years. His life was taken but his memory remains strong.
...than people who died in the September 11th attack. Seriously. 600,000 people a year from heart disease because they ate too many cheeseburgers and/or couldn't use their pudgy legs to walk around for 30 minutes a day, or ride a bicycle to the local corner store instead of waddling into their SUV.
You lost friends, families, lovers. We get it. Everyone has people close to them who die. You grieve. Then you get on with your life.
Wallowing in misery year after year, drawing attention to it is not only a waste of your life but exactly the wrong reaction to a terrorist attack.
I tend to keep my internet comments on the tame side, but I cant think of a more tactful way to say this:
Fuck you.
Do you realize how offensive that comment is? Comparing nearly 3000 innocent people being murdered to people who make lifestyle choices that affect their health negatively...

how others cope with grief and the loss of a loved one. That is not your decision. Be quiet.

choose to remember a loved one on the anniversary of that person's death. The fact that more people die a different way is irrelevant.
You are free to ignore any memorials you don't want to read.
