Wow! Hard to believe that it has been 8 years ago the World Trade Center was taken out.
Do you remember that Day? What were you doing? What were you feeling as you watched those planes crash in the buildings that were so populated and well used? This was a landmark in time in America.
I remember getting ready for school. My friend Wendy, picked me up for school. She said, “Turn on the TV! Oh my gosh! I can’t believe it!”
My son and I turned it on and were riveted to what was going on. The incredible devastation; it was horrifying!
Wendy was crying and I was angry. I could not believe that was happening, much less who was responsible.
When I got to school it seemed that everyone had heard and was sad, angry, scared and very anxious as to what might happen next. Many were praying, some crying, some quiet and others ready to fight back.
I want us to remember as the people who were there, the children who lost their parents, the men and women who lost spouses, those who lost children and friends, will never forget. Is there a way you can reach out tomorrow to someone who remembers and falls back into grief? We can pray for them, we can listen to their stories, we can be a friend and love them.
Every American was touched in one way or another by this tremendous act of despicable nonsensical behavior. We will all need to talk to some degree. We will all need to listen.
