Today my heart is heavy thinking about that day 8 years ago.
I had dreams about 9-11 all of last night, and this morning woke up with the families of those who had died on my mind.
I remember where I was. I remember sitting all day with my family. I remember watching the second plane hit. I remember watching daughters and sons jump to their death. I remember the shock. I remember the anger. I remember the rescue teams going in to help others come out. I remember a country coming together in unity and patriotism. I remember the flags flying in windows, doors, mailboxes, street corners, store windows. I remember the prayers said and the tears shed. I will never forget.
What will you remember today to honor the lives lost on September 11th, 2001?

I still can't think about it without getting upset. And I didn't lose any family member or even know anyone personally who died I suspect that feeling may never go away entirely.
