9/11 Ceremony filled with remembrance and emotion

In a darkened room nearly 350 people sat silently with eyes forward, as a little girl narrates a video to her father. She tells him of how she knows he is in heaven, looking down at her as she tells him of her favorite meal. Her dialogue is very candid; however, in the next few frames, she sounds slightly older and her message to him is more serious. She misses him and does not understand why he was taken away. By the end of the video, the girl is much older and the pain in her voice is overwhelming as she professes her love for him and how much she has missed him in her life.

She had lost her father in the tragedy of September 11, 2001.
