Remembering

Thank you all for helping make Holly's birthday so happy and poetic. You gals made us laugh with all your rhyming creativity. We'll post the winner tomorrow. Oh and by the way, we didn't wind up eating at Target. She finally decided on a place called "The Cajun Yard Dog." Have mercy. I have to admit it was good.

For today's post I'd like to pause...

and remember...

and pay tribute to all the victims of 9/11 and their families.

I'll never forget standing in front of my TV that horrific day watching events unfold that I simply couldn't process.

I find myself thinking of all those lost and their families quite often. I think about how they must have spent their last few hours in such normal, everyday ways. Just like us they got up, kissed loved ones, got kids ready for school, chatted on their cell phones, and prepared for just another day.

And just like us they assumed, there would be many more days ahead.

The loved ones left behind have had 7 years to grieve their loss and time does do wonderful healing things. But today will be hard.

Won't you join me in remembering those lost and those left behind? If you want to pray specifically for a victim and their family today, please click here to see a complete list of names.
