10 Years Ago Today...The World Stopped Turning

If you ask me what I did last Monday...I know I would have a hard time remembering the details of the day. If you ask me what I was doing 10 years ago today I could tell you exactly every detail because that day is in the hearts of ALL Americans. I had just woke up and turned on the TV to see what the weather was going to be like for the day. I rembember thinking that it was just a movie that was on only to find that it was showing on all of the channels. Once I realized what had happened and that it was real my heart dropped and the first thing I did was get on the phone and make sure that the ones I loved were okay. Once I was sure family members and friends were ok my sorrow for the people whose lives were lost turned to anger. I went out that very day and donated blood and tried to join the military only to be declined due to having asthma and not being able to pass the physical portion of the test. Today when the children wake up we will be watching videos of what happened that day and I will be teaching them that there are real "superheros" in this world that lost their lives that day and who continue to lose their lives to protect us and keep us free. They know that there are real life "bad guys" who intentionally hurt others but they will be learning the History of this country and why we have to fight to have the right to keep our freedom. Thanks to the heroes who gave their life and sacrifice each day to make our country a better place I will have the great blessing to continue to teach my children and help them grow as great individuals. It is because of the American heroes that we are free and for that I am forever grateful.
