September 11th

 

We will NEVER forget.

A day doesn't go by that 9/11 is not in the back of my mind.

I can still remember what I was doing on that

September day. Taking my Madeline to Kindergarten.

I had to run in the house for something.

When I got back in the car Jason said a plane

hit the World Trade Center

I said it's probably a small plan

nothing to worry about.

When we got to the school I walked

Madeline to her class room.

TVs were on the news everywhere.

The kids were watching the TV

and asking what the name of this movie?

Crazy!!

It was bad real bad.

I was so happy to be living in Minnesota

with my family. You see I grew up

in Alexandria VA just a few miles

outside of Washington DC.

I live there for 22 years.

I lived maybe 4 miles from the

Pentagon. Jason's mom worked

at the Pentagon. We prayed all day

that she was okay.

 We did not here from her until 11pm.

She was Okay. Thank God.

It was an exhausting day and weeks of sitting in front

of the TV watching CNN.

We cried for the ones who lost there

lives and family member left behind.

The firemen and first responders

are Hero's and our prayers were with them.

 

We are so Thankful to men and women

who protect our freedom everyday.

It's great to be an American!
