9/11

this morning as I hold my baby, that terrible terrible day-12 years ago- seems a world away.

I turn on the TV so i can remember.

We flew out of New York yesterday and did not even bat an eye.

We are safe.

That's exactly what the passengers thought 12 years ago.

as we walked the streets of the city this weekend, I thought about 9/11/11.

I thought about the chaos and terror that must have been felt. in the air.

My mind wouldn't go there.

i can not imagine.

honestly, i don't want to

I am beyond grateful for the light that shines today on the city.

in memory of those who lost their lives

those that saved lives

those who are rebuilding

and those who give hope
