Image taken by my daughter-in-law, Kaitlyn, at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in 2014. Each letter of the quote was forged from pieces of recovered World Trade Center steel by New Mexico artist Tom Joyce. [Click here]( to read more about the installation. Shock, sadness, fear, anger. Those are the emotions that immediately come to mind when I think about September 11, 2001 - the day terrorists hijacked jets that crashed into the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania, killing nearly 3,000 people. I was a stay-at-home parent at the time, with four kids under 12. I remember trying to get the kids off to school when the news broke on one of the morning shows, and I sat there, not believing what I was seeing. Iâm sure most of you also remember where you were and how life changed that day. A couple of things that affected me most that day (and still to this day 23 years later) were how we never know when our time on this earth is up. So many people just going about their ordinary lives were, in one catastrophic moment, gone, leaving behind families and friends who still mourn their loss. Ever since that day, I have tried to remember how precious each and every day is. Another thing I will be forever changed by was hearing about and seeing the army of heroes who gave all they had to try and save their fellow Americans. From the passengers on the plane who fought back, forcing the terrorists to crash the plane in a field in Pennsylvania instead of a federal government building in Washington DC, to all the first responders who risked their lives running INTO the World Trade Center towers while victims were desperately trying to get out. The stories that came out days, weeks, and years later about the brave actions of everyday Americans on 9/11 still cause me to tear up today. My heart is full of gratitude for being a citizen of such a great nation. I raise my voice with countless others today when I pray we NEVER FORGET 9/11. No longer want to receive these emails?
