Seven years ago Ryan was six months old. Life was good and happy and I was eagerly looking forward to my 25th birthday. For some reason Matt got up extra early that morning and turned on the TV. Instantly, he came running in to tell me in what happened and I responded with something like, that's awful and then rolled over and went back to sleep. Matt went back to watch the News and actually saw the moment the second plane hit the second tower. He came in again to tell me what had just happened and I again gave a similar response. It was until Matt came running in for the third time to tell me a plane just hit the Pentagon that I got up. I truly thought that Matt was making it up or watching a movie and didn't realise it. When I finally saw the News for myself, it was then that I understood what was going on. I look back on my reaction to the news and realise how blindsided we were on that day. No one could have believed such an attack would occur. I still feel the same sadness today that I felt seven years ago. I still cry (yes, I said cry) the same tears today for those that died that day. My prayers go out to all the families' who lost a loved one and have to live with the reality of September 11th everyday. We will never forget you.Thursday, September 11, 2008

I would swear that I just looked at you blog the other day and this post was not there! I remember you calling me that morning. You were panicked and told me the stock market crashed. I was irritated becaused I could not understand why you woke me up. Then you reworded it and I realized what happened. I will never forget that day, that week.
