Remembering

This afternoon I sat on my couch glued to my television.

I watched the events of 9.11 unfold all over again.

Except this time it was so different.

I suddenly realized the significance of that day.

Ten years ago as a thirteen year old I could only understand SO MUCH.

Now watching everything again I was shocked.

The thing that hit me was people realizing that the ones they had loved were gone.

It broke my heart.

Then I read this article from NPR.  This woman spoke to her husband as he was trapped in one of the towers. She held onto her husbands last words of "I love you"and remembering their goodbye morning kiss.  It sure makes me want to appreciate those around me. And to make sure I never let a moment pass of telling someone that I love them!
