Ten years later, we stand with all those who lost someone on 9/11. We can't know your pain, but we can say that it matters. ~ To Write Love On Her Arms

 

i love this quote for today. i think it relates to so many things in life. even to my loss. i don't need anyone to tell me how they know my pain. i just need them to let me know that it  matters.

 

9/11 i will never forget!!!

 

i remember driving home from dropping my daughter off at school and hearing about it on the radio. i had just finished the Left Behind book series and was afraid that even though i was saved that maybe i had been left behind. it might sound silly but it was a real fear for me. i had my son in the back seat, he was only 1, and i remember checking to see if he was back there. he was and i remember for just a split second feeling relief because i wasn't left behind. but that relief was then shattered as i came to understand what was going on. 9/11 is a day no one should ever or will ever forget. i guess i just wish that people would understand this is the same reason i will never and should never forget the dates of my babies, those too were life shattering days to me.

 

but enough about making this all about me.....

 

 

For the husband who told his wife I love you one last time before his plane went down in a field, for the wife who stopped in the stairs to call her husband to say I will love you forever, for the mothers and fathers who kissed their kids goodbye the morning they died,for the policemen who rushed in with the firemen to help get others out only to die themselves, for the soldiers who fought back and lost their lives. today, tomorrow, ten years from now, we will remember♥
