Remembering

Where were you 15 years ago today? I was sitting in class in Nursing School next to my dear friend, Tarah, in upstate New York, when they came to dismiss us. It was a scary and sad drive home, no one knew for sure what was happening and then it came on the radio that there was a second plane...I knew it was miles away but I felt almost it was over my head. My cell wasn't getting through to anyone, there were so many calls they were overloaded.

At home, Dad, Mom and I were glued to the TV screen watching in horror and disbelief. Crying and feeling heavy and numb with dread.

Today, I am remembering and praying for those affected by the tragic events of 9/11, which I think is pretty much everyone in the USA, in some way.  We lost our complete sense of security that day, at least I did.  At the same time I remember how grateful and blessed we are to be living here in the US. Some people live in such fear, fear that we truly have never known, and I hope to God never will.

I'm proud of our country, and our resilience!

Although we often fail You, please God, guide and Bless America.
