nine years later

Yesterday, I heard a tribute to September 11 on a local morning show. Nine years later, I still get chills when I see or hear actual media from that day. I'd just gotten back from a morning run. I was stretching and watching the morning news when I saw the second plane hit. Thankfully, no one I knew was lost or injured. May God continue to watch over those who lost loved ones on that dark day.

eight years later

The president will be speaking here with Secretary Gates and others in remembrance of the eighth anniversary of that dark day. Dana Falkenberg would be eleven now.
