9/11 - 10 years later

Do you remember where you were 10 years ago?

I remember....... I remember everything. That whole day was haunting. I wasn't supposed to be awake yet. I was a dorky college student and my first class of the day was at 2 in the afternoon. As a typical college student, I would sleep until noon and then get ready for my 2 pm class (those were the good ol' days).

The evening prior to 9/11 my father had asked me to wake up early to make a doctors appointment. He wanted me call at 8 am so this meant waking up early. I remember making the doctor's appointment at 8 am and then turning on the tv. That's were it started to get real. I saw the first & second plane hit the World Trade Center. Immediately, I thought of my family in NY and my friend's father that worked there. I saw things I will never forget. Things I wish I could forget.

It's a day, I always remember because there was a reason for me being up that early. I remember praying for those people on the planes and buildings. They needed my prayers. Their families needed my prayers.

So many lives taken. Heartbreaking.

Today, it is the 10th anniversary of 9/11. GASP! I can't believe it's been 10 years already.

Below are pictures of the beautiful memorial that was built to remember the people and heros of 9/11. I can't wait to see it in person. Exactly as it should be the memorial seems calming and peaceful.

Today, we must remember and also be grateful for what we have.

God Bless America!
