Seven years ago, we were affected one way or another by a tragic event that will forever be remembered. I get emotional just thinking about the billions of hearts that folded that day as they heard and watched the news and how it hit home for everyone. I remember watching the tv with tears rolling down my face as I watched the same clip over and over again.
I had just left New York two days prior to the attacks and to see the World Trade Center on tv that day was just too surreal for me as that was the exact building I was looking at as I flew out of John F. Kennedy Airport on 9/9.
Tammy's best friend Carlos, has written a beautiful speech in rememberance of this day and I'm compelled to share his great words you:
My heart goes out to everyone on this day and a strong prayer to watch over those whose family members gave their lives so we could have a better tomorrow.Today, marks the 7th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy. Once again today we remember with heavy hearts the nearly 3000 victims who perished as a result of the attacks not only of our home but on the foundations of our freedoms.
We remember, too, with respect and awe those who climbed stairs into fire risking all and those who searched the ruins for survivors, working past their own strength until all hope was exhausted.
Let us honor those who are prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice to defend our freedom and show our support for those among us who have the courage to make that faithful choice. Let us manifest our common purpose by renewing our commitment to this nation and, above all, to the values for which it stands.
Together, on this somber day, we think back with sadness, we draw strength from each other and we look ahead with hope. We will always remember! Let us respectfully bow our heads in a moment of silence now to those who lost their lives that day.

Thank you and God Bless!

Yes, Mama, let us honor those that had tragically lost their lives on that day. All of the families and loved ones of the fallen will forever be in my prayers.
It really is scary to know how much our world has changed because of that 1 day.
I know the families really appreciate the support Jackie :)
Isn't it Tammy? There is no such thing as certainty anymore.... 'tis very scary.
