Let us never forget

My sweet little Ethan, born 2 years after this terrible tragedy, came home from school today with a little American flag. He told me on the way home from school what he had learned about 9/11 at school and how there are "many important things about our flag."

And tonight, he crawled up in my lap, flag in hand, and fell asleep. There is no better way to end such a solemn day as seeing your sweet little child sleeping with his American flag. I only wish I had been able to get a picture. So I posted my favorite picture I remember from that day.

I couldn't bear to turn on the tv today. My emotions still seem so raw. Flags flying at half mast, stories on the radio and moments of silence at my kids school left me goose bumped and teary eyed. I am so thankful for the heroes of our country. For the people that sacrifice their lives to protect us. And my thoughts and prayers go out to all that were affected 7 years ago.
