9/11

What a sad day to remember. In a way, I wish I could forget everything about it, but on the other hand, I want those images to feel fresh so that I never forget to be grateful for the many blessings we have. Parker was not even a month old that day and I just cried and cried the whole day. I remember thinking that he would never have some of the opportunities and priviledges that I have had because our country would forever be changed. How sad for everyone. I avoid anything to do with that day now. I never watch or read anything about it because I get too emotional. Then I feel guilty because I have the luxury of just changing the channel but those people who lost someone that day can't just turn the channel or put down the newspaper. Sad. My tribute today will just be praying for anyone who still struggles with the aftermath of that awful day--that they find strength in God and that they will eventually be able to move without forgetting.
