Today’s September 11th. The anniversary of that tragic day when the United States lost part of its soul. So many innocent people taken from us…friends, family, and loved ones. As time passes, we sometimes start to lose sight of the past, but I can guarantee you, WE will NEVER forget.
I personally remember when I heard the news on the radio that morning, as I was getting ready for work. I felt as though someone slugged me in the stomach. It was so surreal – things like that just don’t happen here…but it did.
My sister and I took a trip to New York a few summers ago, and we went to the site of what used to be the Twin Towers. We heard from a resident of New York that happened to be giving tours that morning. Just the heartache in his voice…I can’t imagine what the people felt like actually witnessing what was happening.
My heart goes out to everyone that lost a friend, or loved one that tragic morning in September. Just know that together as a Nation, we will always remember, and continue to pray for their souls and for your peace. WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

Great post, Michelle
I was on my way to work when the first plane struck. Was listening to NPR, as I recall. They thought there had been accident. Continued to work and shortly after arriving, the second plane came.
My wife had taken the day off and called me crying. So I left work and went home – as so many other people did – and watched the events of that day unfold.
A tragic day to be sure. One we will never forget to be sure. It’s a sad commentary on what happens when anger rules the human mind. It’s a reason for all of us to do better – be better.
Thanks for a thoughtful post.
How awful, Ray…so you were right in the center of it all. I can’t even imagine. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and I totally agree with your comment, “It’s a sad commentary on what happens when anger rules the human mind. It’s a reason for all of us to do better – be better.” Michelle
I was not in NY. I meant I watched in on TV. Even in Kansas City, though, a lot of people left work that day or did not even come in.
