"On the day when buildings fell....."


"....hero's rose." I write this with tears in my eyes and no great insight or thoughts to share. I just couldn't allow this day to go by without mentioning it. I hate that I lived during this time in American history and I hate that my children or nieces and nephews will never know the kind of America that I grew up in and that kind of (albeit, false) feeling of safety. However, I loved the feeling of patriotism that I received that day and still hold onto today. September 11th will always be a day that breaks my heart and I hope that I NEVER forget what that day felt like. I wish that so many others had not already, especially after such a short amount of time. I thank all of the patriots and their families who lost their lives that day and all that have fought for our continued safety and freedom since that day. I will never be able to remember this day or almost any other day without thinking about Adam and his family. As always, I beg your continued prayers for Erin, his girls, and the rest of his family. Most importantly...................
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

One of the saddest days in our history but the unity of our nation afterwards was wonderful. It makes you think how important it is not to leave loose ends or let folks know how much you care about them. Love you girl! Steve&Bev Hope you are feeling better after this week's SEC Saturday.
