Twelve Years Later

We ALL know where we were on September 11, 2001. Those of us who live in New York, especially, can tell you. If you worked in NYC on that day, that adds another dimension to your 9-11 story. We all have the unique version of that day.

It is a morning that forever changed so many.

Remember and reflect. YOU are here and reading this. THAT is something to celebrate.

Twelve years later and still, we all need love and a hug. 

Impromptu Guest Post:
I don't normally go on social media sites when I am writing my blog in the morning, but this morning, I did. My sister Jane, who you all know, wrote this.
It is exactly perfect.
(She has no idea I am doing this...)

A month ago - I accompanied three teen girls to the 9-11 memorial. When we were at the fountains, I felt some sadness...BUT it was at the museum, when I saw the photo mural of faces of those we lost vibrant and alive on the wall that my tears flowed. They would not stop. The photos tugged at my heart. I remember so vividly my friends and I shielding our daughters at age 4 from the news. And now, here I was with the girls thinking they were old enough to see it all but really None of us, no matter what age will ever comprehend it.

The tears continued as I approached the "Tiles for Americas" section of the memorial. Get well cards were made on tiles after 9-11 and there were tiles of tribute, healing and hope.

Today, I will remember the faces I saw on the wall, the tiles made with love and continue to pray for peace in this world. God Bless America.

Watch this video, it is less than three minutes and yet, it shows caring, kindness, and compassion in the most beautiful way. In NYC. Twelve years later.

EDITED 9-11-13 at 8:00pm to add this intensely beautiful poem from Mike Rosen who was 12 years old when 9-11 happened and living in NYC. You will need tissues.

If you haven't listened to this version of The Star Spangled Banner, prepare to be amazed. You might just add it to your iTunes library, which they band would love if you did. They have a goal to reach 5,000,000 views on YouTube by September 14. At this writing they are at 4,291,580. Go take a listen. You'll be thrilled you did.
Take a moment.
Be grateful.
Share some love and kindness today.

You were the first person I spoke to that morning. I remember it as if it was yesterday! Today, Brian had to go to the city. It made me realize how many people have had to do that every day since 9-11. Life Goes On but we never forget.
thanks for using my words this am...love you!

One of the few horrible anniversary dates I can actually recall almost every part of the day.
