Remembering

With the 10 year anniversary of 9-11 fast approaching I can't help but remember where I was 10 years ago. Today. I mean I can vividly remember where I was and what I was doing 10 years ago! Which is big because I can barely remember what I'd did a year ago or sooner on some things. But I guess you could say that my life completely changed that day. Boone can know if their lives would have been different or the same. Noone can know what President Bush's presidency would have been like without that tragedy. We probably wouldn't be at war right now, but then maybe we would be at war. Because maybe something else would have happened had our state of awareness not been up.

What I do know is that it's a day that I'll never forget. I'll never forget what it felt like watching the towers fall and wondering where my dad was and if he was in one. I'll never forget being at Ole Miss and hearing about the student who passed out in the Union when they said which planes had crashed into the Twin Towers and she realized it was her father's plane. It may not always be at the front of my mind but it's there. And sometimes it feels like it happened just yesterday.

So as we approach this monumental anniversary let's not forget those who perished that day. Nor should we forget those who jumped up when duty called and fought and gave their lives for freedom. I know I won't.

Much love, CB :)
