Remember...

I was a sophomore in high school when I heard the devastating news. The World Trade Center had been hit, then later the Pentagon and then that last flight that was heading towards the capitol, but never reached it's destination. It was devastating. I was young then, I didn't quite understand how it felt to lose someone or the pain that everyone felt. Ten years later, I am married and have experienced life in a totally different way. I could NEVER imagine having that last conversation with my husband, knowing that I would never talk to him or see him again.

I stayed up watching Dateline 9-11-2001 on Friday, it was heart-breaking. One lady was supposed to spend the day with her husband and celebrate their 8th wedding anniversary, but he was a fire fighter that didn't make it home. Then the stories told from the wives about their husband's overpowering the terrorists on Flight 93. We may never know what happened on that flight that day, but the passengers were so courageous and saved many people's lives by invading the cockpit. That plane never made it to it's final destination, and those passengers risked their lives to save many.

May we all remember this day and keep those who lost loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.
