I've been watching a lot of the T.V. specials about 9-11. I'm not sure why I've watched them- they break my heart. I suppose I just want to remember. I want to honor the memories of those who died, who didn't have to die. My heart breaks for families and co-workers and friends who lost someone they loved.
I picked up this issue of People yesterday, and it really touched me. One little girl talks about her daddy who died before she was born. She sleeps with one of his bike jerseys every night. She used to keep her ultrasound picture in her room because she knew that was a picture he had seen of her.
I don't know why things like this have to happen. I know after that day, we were united as a country. I hope and pray that situations in our country can improve. I really only have experienced living in a country at war. Every day something even worse happens in the news. All I know is that I have faith in a God who is mindful of us, even through the hard times.
God bless America.
I have strong memories of hearing this song frequently after 9-11 and I always feel proud of our country when I hear it.
I'll remember.
