Thanks for sharing this, Jannette, and thanks for making it clear. Bad people for their own reasons do such things even on good days. Looking forward to a day when humans will finally understand their fate and instead work towards their destiny, together with no finger pointing at each other in a bad way.

I was more for me, my family, my clan, my tribe, my country, my continent, until when I realized I also have my world, my planet, my Solar System, my Milky Way, my universe, and my creation. That way, we can see the bigger picture of things. Until then, we'll hide behind ideologies that harm us than good, whether religious or secular.

And Happy birthday to your brilliant grandson 🥳

Aww, he seems like such a caring, thoughtful boy ❤️ Keep raising him well.

If he’s feeling down about being born on 9/11, you can tell him something like:

(Insert the spirit you believe in) chose that day for you because the world needed your bright and caring spirit to remind people that goodness and love still exist, even on sad days. You were sent here to bring joy and light when people remember the darkness.

You might also encourage him to make it his own tradition by turning his birthday into something like “Spreading Joy Day" where each year, he can choose a way to spread kindness to those effected by 9/11 whether it’s doing something nice for someone else, making people smile, or even just sharing his laughter.

That way, he doesn’t just carry the weight of the date but instead he reshapes it into something uplifting and meaningful that people will look forward to celebrating with him while actively helping him to reshape his thoughts and feelings as well.

Hope this helps,

Happy birthday to him.

Happy Birthday to you grandson Jannette!
