9/11



We crawled out of bed a few minutes ago to give Miles his medicine.  We have the whole production down to a science now, and can have it done in 2 minutes flat.  When we finished up, I went to write down the date/time as I always do.  {When you're on an every three day schedule it can get confusing!}

9/11 8:00 am.

And then, it hit me.  The tears came.  Now, I don't recall the exact, exact time, but I know it was very close to 8:00 am here in the midwest, cause I had an 8:00 class and didn't hear about it til after that.  Yes, I could look it up to see the exact time, but I don't need to. 

I know you all are remembering today too.  The one thing I keep thinking this morning, is how much smaller I view the world today than back then.  I mean, even then it was terrifying, and heart-breaking, and beyond words.  But today?  NYC, Pennsylvania and Washington D.C. don't feel so far removed from my little bubble here in Kansas.  I think that's partly because of the blogging community.  I've made friends around the country and around the world.  I see now how interconnected we all are.  I love you guys!

I'm headed out to hang up my flag.  I'd encourage you to do the same if you're an American, and have one. {I know 9/11 effected people across the world.  Do you guys have any special ways to remember on 9/11?}


May God bless America.

We will never forget.
