9-11 Seven Years Later

September 11, 2008

It has been 7 years since the city of New York and our country woke up from our delusion of safety from outside attacks. I think most everyone remembers where they were when they heard the unbelievable news.

It was just an ordinary day, much like today is...

I can only wonder how many Americans today are finding themselves watching the skies and thinking of their loved ones a bit more than usual. Has the passing of time erased the feelings of fear and unease that permeated each of us on 09/11/2001?

If not for the news reminding us with stories of the remembrances being held in New York, Pennsylvania, and the Pentagon-would this have been just another "ordinary" day? I myself believe that in reality there will never be days that can be labeled as ordinary for those that lost loved ones that day, for those that worked the rescues and clean up after the towers fell.

The United States of America is not the safety zone it once was for us. Our eyes were opened to that horrible fact.

I believe that the result of that day still resides in the back of our minds today. As we hold our loved ones a bit closer and say I love you more often than before. Which is a very good thing.
