We will never forget....


Not in our family.  Not ever.

September 11th will forever be a solemn day of remembrance for my family.

Life changed that day.  For each and every one of us.

For the Englishman, who watched as a dozen friends perished before his eyes.

For our daughters, two far from home on college campuses and the other kept at her high school, frantically searching for information and longing to be home.

For me, in a Third Grade classroom, trying desperately to act as though nothing was happening when every fiber of my being wanted to run, gather my family and hold on to them as tightly as I could.

For my nephew and his friends, in their Senior year at West Point, whose future would now include trying to survive in a war zone.   

We still remember.

Please take a moment to read our youngest daughter's editorial (click on the highlighted, underlined text to go directly to the editorial).  It is a beautiful piece.


Then read of the news we received yesterday, about "The Note",  on our middle daughter's post (click on the highlighted, underlined text to go directly to the post).  


Prayers and gratitude for all those who work tirelessly to keep us all safe. 
May God bless and protect them.
And all of us.
