Yes, I will never forget.
• That morning at my new (7 months then, now 10.5 years) job.
• MSNBC.com and CNN.com being down due to the huge unexpected traffic to their sites.
• The co-worker that has a sibling as a pilot and was awash in worry.
• The corporate e-mail allowing employees to leave at 11 AM.
• Picking up my sweet 5 (now 15) year old daughter from school early.
• Trying to shield her from my crying and shaking.
• Talking to my then friend and now husband who called from the Orlando airport where he was scheduled to fly from there to Boston.
• Spending the rest of the day watching news updates in horror.
I spent a moment in silence this morning honoring all who lost their lives on that beautiful September day 10 years ago.
And I thank and genuflect in gratitude to all of those who fight for my freedom. I spent this Sunday lazing around, going to the market and readying for the upcoming work week. I was able to do this freely thanks to those who are actively fighting to keep the evil and hate at bay.
Make sure you kiss your loved ones and tell them how much you love them. Every day. I know I will.
