9/11

I woke up this morning remembering .... I celebrated with many today over the 5th birthday of the CIG but never far from my thoughts were the events that happened 11years ago. We all have said the words "we will never forget." I sat in my living room with tears streaming down my face... As most of us watched we were not sure what was happening. Mine and Shelby's dear friends live across the river in Jersey, his mom traveling into the city for work... My precious friend lost one of his dear friends that day as those two towers fell. In the days, weeks and months that went by, tears sprang every time I saw a flag being flown...this day in history lead to a different word, I'm proud to say my sweet, brave , strong nephew has helped in the war on terror by serving this great country in another country so far away. Today is a day we remember.. The dads, moms brothers, sisters and grandparents that never came home .... Dreams broken and heartache overwhelming. We see years later how awesome our heavenly father is... He heals the walking wounded and brings joy where sorrow runs like a river out of it's banks . This great country is still healing ...... And yes life goes on, but we will never forget!!
