Seriously I couldn't even think about letting the day do by without acknowledging  the 8th Anniversary of the worst Terror attack on United Sates soil. 2993 people lost their lives, and according to wikkipedia 1 person has died from lung cancer that was directly related to the exposure from ground zero.

The morning was a lot like this morning at my house. Gracie was 4 months old and Hayden was 3. I wasn't feeling well and my house was a disaster. I was kind of having a poor me morning. As I sat on the couch and fed Gracie, I watched Hayden pile his toy tractor and trailer with is breakfast for the load. I turned on the TV to the today show right in time to see the second plane fly in to the WTC.  The News Casters were all speechless, horrified as was I. Hayden looked up at the TV and gasped. He was only 3, and he felt the terror and strong emotion of it too. Immediately my pity party was over, I remember Hayden and I folding our arms and saying a prayer. I think I cried most of the day. 

I  just can't even begin to imagine how the victims and their families felt. I suspect that today is a very hard day for tens of thousands of people. My prayers are still with these people, our nation and it's leaders, my family and friends and especially my babies and their future. ~E
