I'm sitting here today watching the coverage from 9 years ago and my heart is truely saddened.  I cannot get over the changes that have happend in our lives as a country since that tragic day in 2001. 

My daughter wanted to snuggle with me and I let her until she fell asleep and then left her in my arms even longer taking the time to reflect on those events and keep my most precious treasure close to my heart.

Today as we prayed we prayed for the leaders of our nation and for the military members at home and abroad and for those that lost their lives and their loved ones.  My heart aches for them all.

I will always remember.
