Remembering 9/11

Today is 9/11.

I will never forget that day.

I was sharing a classroom with a teacher

at Midway High School...as I came into

her room to take over, she told me

what was going on and we turned on the tv.

Watching this and experiencing it

with a classroom of scared high school

students was surreal.  All of it was unbelievable.

 

For some reason today I especially woke up

thinking about the mothers who were pregnant

and lost their husbands that day.

Those little children are 12 now and

never got to know their daddies.

That breaks my heart.

Everything about 9/11 breaks my heart.

 

A year after 9/11, I had my own baby.

 I clearly remember holding him a little bit tighter

on that day as I watched coverage of what had taken

place a year earlier.  He was only two weeks old. 

 My dear friend from high school had sent

Walker and Kate "9/11" patriotic outfits...

 Kelli and I were so blessed that year

and 9/11 was certainly a reminder for us

to not take a second of our time for granted. 

Praying for all those directly impacted

by that tragic day twelve years ago:(

 

We will never forget!
