I really couldn't bring myself to write "that" post this year.  The one that makes me cry.  But I can tell you that my heart goes out to the families who have lived with the loss of September 11, 2001.  Those families not only include those murdered that day, but the first responders who have become sick, the fallen soldiers.

My family (including the one I married into) is full of military members, firefighters, medics and law enforcement officers.  The post I linked to has photos of many of them.  I treasure each day and when I have a day that makes me upset and things are going haywire in my office I often stop and reflect and count my blessings.

I woke up feeling ill at ease today.  I had alka seltzer for breakfast and saltine's for lunch.  I think 9-11 sort of creeped on me this year. I just wasn't at all mentally prepared for this dreadful day.  Today I wish for peace ... peaceful hearts, peace of mind, just peace.  God Bless America.

God Bless America.

Thank you and your family for their sacrifices and service to our country. Those that go in harms way to protect/save others should be honored.

I believe so too Than.  I am in awe of those who serve and protect.

I remember that day, too.  The phone service happened to be out at the business I worked at because of some street repair.  Chief Cook was woking in one of the towers in Minneapolis and had been frantically trying to call me all morning.  She was actually touring her building looking for space for a project (she was a project manager at the time).  Since she couldn't reach me, she finally drove to my business to see me in person.  She had never done that before or since.  I can't imagine the horror of the families who never did hear from their loved ones on that day. 

We should all remember the victims, the first-responders and all the heroes who stayed behind to help others.  They have a special place in my heart, and I am sure in the hearts of many.  God Bless You, Tammy.

A former agent of mine was a United flight attendant.  She knew many of the people and it's always such a sad day for her and I always think about her.

CNBC reran the original broadcast and it was very eery.  We remember clearly what we were doing, it was a gorgeous day here in the mountains.  I was outside cleaning one of the dog runs and Leslie was watching the news.  Surreal, even now.

I had driven Abigail to school and was in the office early, with the news on the television.

I just cry for those who's lives were cut short.  For the kids and wives and husbands that never got to say another I love you.  We must love one another each day.  Every single day!

Someone on the local news here said that they "get the feeling" that a lot of the survivors and families want to start moving forward with their lives now that they're passed the 10th anniversary. I can see that a little, but how does a child or a spouse or someone who dies senselessly "move forward?" Isn't that what they were forced to do 11 years ago by those bastards?

Kerrie- I certainly agree that never missing the opportunity to love or say I love you is key to our lives.

Eric- I agree they have been moving "forward" every day... but in a world where their loved one was murdered making it a different and sometimes sad world for them.  And for anyone who thinks people should "just get over it" which is kind of how I take what they were meaning... to hell with them.  If they didn't experience it or don't have the heart to feel the pain of others to hell with them.
