I'm still amazed at how vivid the memories of that day are. Even eight years later. How shocked I was. How scared I was. How much my heart hurt. How I wanted my family beside me. We picked up Caveman from preschool. We watched TV. All day. Matt went to work in the afternoon but was home very early. Not much to do at the airport. We talked to our far away family. We told them we loved them. And we were grateful we still had them. We prayed and were comforted. Amazed to be living in such a great country. Amazed by the acts of kindness performed by so many. Amazed at the bravery of so many young soldiers fighting for our freedom.So today I am grateful. Today I thank God for this free land in which I live. Today I remember.
