Remembering ... 9-11

As part of our girls weekend we decided to visit the 9-11 memorial and museum.  New York was having a beautiful sunny fall day.  It was warm with a slight breeze felt as we exited the cab.  We arrived early on Saturday morning to the grounds. The city was quiet for New York standards.  You could hear the tide pools that now take the place of the towers. The rush of water was peaceful despite that peace there was a heaviness, and a sad emptiness here as I stood at the pools edge.  New York and all the American people who assisted in the recovery and rebuilding of these grounds did great work to honor our fallen from that horrible day.  Kristi, Beth, and myself all shared our recollections from the day as if it had just happened. We each had our own memories mine was that I was working 4 miles from President Bush when the towers were attached. He was at Booker Middle 

School reading to the kids that morning.
