Although this is a day that none of us will ever forget for the horrific things that happened, we should also remember that good things happened. People were born, couples fell in love, peoples' lives were saved and most importantly heros were born. As I type this they are starting the first national moment of silence, and I can't help but to well up. To think of the lives lost, the lives destroyed, the world turned on it's ear. Let us never forget that human lives were lost this day, not Democrats, not Republicans, not white people, not black people, not hispanic, but human beings. Let us not forget that we are all in this together, all of humankind.

That's beautiful, MBR...made me tear up.
Happy Birthday, Emma. What lies still is easy to grasp; What lies far off is easy to anticipate; What is brittle is easy to shatter; What is small is easy to disperse. Yet a tree broader than a man can embrace is born of a tiny shoot; A dam greater than a river can overflow starts with a clod of earth; A journey of a thousand miles begins at the spot under one's feet. |

Another memory I will hold close in my heart happened a few month's after 9/11...
I had my second son in late November. My in-laws usually make personal Christmas cards, either with pictures or stories of what transpired during the year. When I received their card, I sat and cried. Not with the same grief as in September, but with sadness AND hope. It read: It was early December, and I hadn't a card So I sat, and I sat and I thought very hard Stars, on a field of blue came to mind And red and white stripes - not the holiday kind When my pensive and troubled and pondering mood Was suddenly brightened - my new grandson coo-ed His ten little fingers, his ten tiny toes His cheerio mouth, his cute button nose He said not a word, yet he told us so much Have faith and find comfort in God's gentle touch... The card went on, but I never make it past that point without tears in my eyes. Not just for my beautiful children who continue to give me hope and faith just by being here with me, but also for the beautiful babies of 9/11 - who will never see their father's faces. May we all find something to give us hope and faith - whatever faith that may be. Although you are all strangers, I wish you all peace and love. |

September 11, 2001 is something that I don't think anyone who experienced it (first/second/thirdhand) will ever truly get over, nor should they. It was a day of sheer terror and confusion...But it was also a day of bravery and sacrifice. I will never forget the bravery displayed by the NYPD, FDNY, EMT's, the passengers en route to Washington and the people of our nation. When we could've folded or shriveled up, we stood up straight and proud and bound together in unison. Just know that every image of that day will forever be worn on all of our sleeves and we, as a country, are proud of you and your families. My heart goes out to those who lost loved ones on September 11 and I wish I could take away the pain or somehow fill that void. This is the first time I've ever touched this subject because I've never really known what to say. I just wanted to pay my respects to all of those lost and to those who survived...Whatever your religion or creed may be, may God bless you all.
