Remember


It hardly seems believable that seven years have passed since September 11, 2001.
I was going about my normal Mom duties on that day. Wade was at home after working all night at DFW airport. I had gotten up and dressed and taken Cara to Mothers Day Out. As I drove up, I saw my sister who also took my nephew to MDO at the same place. She mentioned to me what had happened. I was in disbelief. I had not listened to any news or even the radio as I drove that morning. I dropped Cara off and headed to my school in Irving to tutor. The television was on in the lounge and I watched. It seemed so surreal.
I immediately began getting phone calls about the whereabouts of Wade since at the time he was working in airports and traveling most of the time. I knew that Wade was safe at home. Praise God!

That evening, we all went to church to pray for all. All who were involved. All who lived in our country. Everyone! I was touched by President George Bush's words on that day.

I chose to commemorate that event with a scrapbook. A day in history, that we should never forget. May we truly remember and pray for those who lost loved ones on that day. And for all those who fight for our freedom.
