Why does it seem that we forget?

Where were you
when this happened?


The ages of our kids at the time:
Robert - 16
Tabitha - 13
Amber - 9
David - 4

Rob had just left for the gym and both Robert and I were barely awake as he needed to get up and ready for seminary (Bible study). Within 10 minutes of Rob leaving he returns. Somehow I knew something was terribly wrong when he walked into the door. I sat up in bed and said "What's wrong?" It all unfolded. Immediately I called Grandma Vicki to make sure both Shaun and Connie (her son and daughter-in-law) were safe. They both are flight attendants for American Airlines. They were safe as I woke them up with the news. I next called my friend Kim, whose hubby was getting on a flight that morning. He was safe as well and returning home as we all know further air traffic was canceled immediately.

We just can't forget!!! We can't forget the innocent lives lost. And those that worked in the twin towers that had something "happen" to them that made them late for work that day. We can't forget our heroes that day.


And the heroes that keep our country safe! Thank you!!!

That was indeed a sobering day and we all just came undone. There were so many bloggers that have remembered 9/11 on their blogs which has been good to see.
