survive: continue to live or exist; especially in spite of danger or hardship.

After the attack on 9-11, a severely damaged tree was found under the rubble.

Replanted to another location, it was nurtured to health, and brought back to the World Trade Center Memorial.

A symbol of hope.

To all the families who have lost family and friends in the 9-11 attack, may you feel God’s comfort today and always.
