September 10 ~ 2011 ~ Remembering 9/11

There has been so much happening in the world the last 10 years.  And so much 'reveiw' of those terrible events 10 years ago that rocked our world as we all understood it. I remember where we were that day and exactly what we were doing.  We were traveling back to Del Rio, TX from San Antonio after having had a very early fertility appointment.  A 2+ hour car ride without the radio.  We were talking & hoping & imagining we were going to have a family.  Our great friend finally reached my cell phone & told us to turn on the radio.  We got home & were glued to the events.  Just like everyone else.  And our lives and world were forever changed.  We tried for awhile after that with the fertility doctor but it just didn't seem like the most important thing in the world. 

Now 10 years later I sit and wonder if we really live in a different type of society than it was before....  are we any safer?  I just don't know the answer to that question.  I know for certain that we still worry about terror.  We still are concerned with things suddenly happening.  Will we ever feel like we don't have to watch out?  Are we just breeding a new type of terror?  These questions pass my mind as I remember those that lost their lives 10 years ago.  The horrific & senseless deaths of so many.  This kind of thing I pray never happens in my sons life but there are no guarantees. 

As America remembers I will also.  I will take a moment with my husband & son.  Call my mom & Anders, text my sisters, facebook my friends.  I will remember to say I love you because we just never know.....
