Remembering...

Today marks seven years since our country was broken by the terrorist attacks. Since I began on this journey of grief, I have become much more aware of how many people are actually grieving each and every day. My own suffering is certainly not unique. We all suffer. Today I am reminded of how many families are still grieving the loss of loved ones who were in the Trade Center Buildings, a plane or nearby.

Lets all take a moment today to remember the almost 3 thousand lives that were lost seven years ago, and join me in prayer for the families of those victims.

Lets also take a moment to remember and pray for the brave men and women who put themselves in harms way in our Armed Forces to make us safe from further attacks.

I also must say that in reflecting on all of this today I am brought to my knees in gratitude. I am so thankful to be an American citizen. I am thankful that I live in a country where there are people who are willing to fight for our safety. We are so blessed!
