5 years ago today .. the world as we knew it came to a standstill
some one had the nerve, the audacity to reach out and strike our Home...
and dealt a mind bogggling, emotion writhing blow to all of Us who have for so long taken our freedom as a given...
and forever emblazoned at least in this girls mind the images of a Nation nearly brought to its knees. whether it was out of fear. grief or faith.
i remember exactly where i was that day, when i heard the news.....we had just gotten done burying my 23 year old nephew who had died tragically ... the same nephew who less than a year before had gotten married.... my son and daughter were both in the wedding
Disbelief.... fear for those that i knew and loved in the NewYork DC and Pennasylvania areas along with the grief already felt hung with me for days even weeks and months as i watched over and over. and waited for word of family and friends. i personally did not lose anybody .... that didnt make it any easier to stomach.... trying to explain to my children a what it meant... and trying to make some sense of it myself..... the images still move me to tears
5 years later.... let us never forget where we were.. the pain that we all felt...... never forget whether we agree with it or not that there are still Men and Women sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, wives and Husbands fighting .... for that freedom that we give so much lipservice to . . and remember always..... that Freedom is Never Free it comes with a price... that is all to often paid by another.
