What 9/11 meant to me....

I sat in the livingroom with my two sweet little girls this morning and watched ABC's coverage of the 9/11 memorial. As many of you might have child that was not here at that time, Macy was glued to the TV, asking questions that i did my best to answer. I explained to Macy that this is a reason why daddy is gone right now, because he has to keep things like this from happening again. She responded that she was proud that daddy took the time to see about others..lol. 10 years have come and gone, i can still see myself sitting in 10th grade english watching it on the TV, our lives as a nation were changed forever... 3,000 people perished that day, and some stood by and wondered.. Where is God? Why is He allowing this to happen to us? Why wont He help us? God was with each and everyone that day, from the ones that came from the rubble, to the people sitting at home watching it on TV, He never forgot us, and im sure that when it all happened, His heart was breaking. 9/11 changed my life as well, but not until almost 5 years later when i married a soldier from Hickory, MS. I always feared that he would be sent away, and he has, but just as i told Macy this morning... daddy has a very important job to do, and this is why. 9/11 may have shattered our spirit, but only for a moment. We are a mighty nation that has simply lost its way,and its sad that it takes a tragedy to make us realize how much we need to help each other and do what we have to do to make our nation stronger. Please continue to pray for our troops overseas, because of them we have the freedom to keep the people we lost on 9/11 alive without being harassed. God bless America, and God bless the 204th!!!

With love... Meg
