14 Years Ago.....

I do not care how many years pass.....Sept. 11 will continue to bring back memories of one of the worst days in our history.  
I read the above last night while looking at Facebook before I went to bed.  It is a different perspective on a day I will never forget.
The night before......
Who knew?
Yes, the monsters who orchestrated this awful attack.  I wonder what their night was like.  After all they were going down with the ship so to speak.  Was there pride?  Was there fear?  Was there any tinge of doubt in their minds?
So very many lives lost.  So many families destroyed.  Americans unnerved by the fact they were attacked at home.
We will forever be overcautious.  That is probably a good thing.  It is also sad.
To exist looking over your shoulder is not how it should be.  
If this is a yearly reminder to treasure each day then it is a good
 for us.
I am more mindful of the fragility of life.  
If there is good to come from this then maybe that is it.  
God bless all of those that were personally affected.  
May you find meaning and peace in the fact that those of us that lived this will always grieve with you.

Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. “
Matthew 5:1-4
