Remembering

My emotions are high today and are a tad overwelming as I sit and watch the ceremonies marking the 10 year anniversary of 9/11.  I finally just had to turn the tv off.  I think it is important to be reminded of what we lost that day and I never want to NOT see it on our televisions for that would mean that we have forgotten.  But I don't have it in me to relive those feelings all over again today.  I am missing my husband terribly as this day marks the whole reason he isn't home with his family.  Maybe that is selfish of me to not want to feel those feelings again.  I have had tear filled eyes all day and trying to explain the reason to my 3 and 2 year olds has proven challenging at best .  I tried telling them that today is a sad day for so many people and that is the reason that daddy has to be gone.  I know they don't understand but one day they will.  I vividly remember where I was and what I was doing when our lives as Americans changed.  I have no words that could describe my gratitude and appreciation for all of the Heroes that were that day.  So on today as I sit remembering the fear, sadness, shock, and confusion of 9/11 I just want to say thank you to all of them for the sacrifices they made and the sacrifices still being made on the behalf of our freedom and safety!  You will NEVER be forgotten, ALWAYS remembered!
