Where were you?

Where were you ten years today? I was a senior in high school and I can still remember to this day what I was wearing and how I fixed my hair that day. It's crazy how something like that day could make you remember something so insignificant like how I fixed my hair on what I thought was going to be a normal day at school.  We were in 1st period band when the first airplane struck and knew nothing of what was going on. When I walked in to my 2nd period accounting class the t.v. was on and the 2nd airplane was just about to hit. I remember walking around in a some what of a daze that day. The teachers left the tv's on all day and there were a lot of people crying but I didn't. I don't think what had happened really registered with me until a few days later or maybe I was just naive and didn't really understand what was happening.

Of course now, the weight of what those horrible men did to our country is a full weight on me. I know what they did to us and what they took away from us. Shaye and I had a talk this morning about what happened those short 10 years ago and decided to watch a video. She and I both started crying but soon she dried her tears and came gave me a big hug. She told me, "Don't cry Mom, they are in Heaven and God can protect them now." He sure can baby, He sure can. The innocence of  child. I love it.




I'm not going to make this a long post, so just please remember all the people who died in those planes, twin towers & pentagon. The people, firefighters and civilians, who worked to get the people out of the world trade centers. And of course all the service men and women who have died fighting, have fought & cam home to us and the ones who are still fighting for freedom to this day.
