"Do you remember what we were talking about last night?," Andy asked after waking me with his call. He was at work. "A plane just hit the pentagon. Go turn on the TV."
Still waking up from my slumber, I floated downstairs and turned on the television. I'm sure we stayed on the phone for awhile, but I don't remember. I sat in shock as I watched the Twin Towers collapse before my eyes. They played the footage over and over and I watched it over and over, glued and unable to leave. What does it mean? I wondered. I called family members just so that I could hear their voices.

It's hard to believe that it's been eleven years since that day. I think about how much has changed since then. I'm married; we have two sons. Our country is different. The same, but scarred.
In some ways, I'm like that. Scarred, but still me.
September 11, 2011. One year ago today, Andy, Elijah and I went swimming at a local lake. It was unseasonably warm. I kept thinking about how it was the tenth anniversary of 9/11 and how we were still living our lives. Maybe it seems cheesy, but I thought about how we were swimming in honor of those who couldn't; we were living our lives to the fullest.

It's hard to believe 11 years have passed since that fateful day on 9/11/2001. Everyone remembers where they were when it happened. I'm sure there are other days throughout history. I know I remember where I was when John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Life goes on through tragedies. I do feel for those who lose loved ones. God speed the day when we won't have these horrific times. Love to all - Mumsie
