9/11

I'm still catching up from September and now we're half way into October - well, almost. This is just a short blurb on the ten year anniversary of 9/11. I remember that day all too well as I'm sure any adult in America does. I was driving to work when I heard about it and at work when I saw the towers fall. Watching the footage still seems surreal of how many people died. It breaks my heart to hear the last calls to loved ones. I can only imagine the fear and hopelessness everyone in the twin towers and the planes must have felt. At the same time I feel immensely proud of our country. I feel so lucky and sometimes wonder why I get to live her with the freedom's I sometimes take for granted and others are starving or faced with war around them every day. It almost doesn't seem fair. It was moving to read the tags attached to each flag. And whether or not they had anything written about them other than their names I was sad for them and their families who they are not with now. At least not physically. Thank goodness for the gospel!
