A Day Like No Other


Today is September 11th. Alot has happened in that seven years since the attacks on NYC! And I think this is the first year since then that the day has passed for me without a very heavy heart. Of course I am still sad about all the lives that were changed forever that day; and yet a part of me is now able to let it go. It kind of hit me tonight that this was the case, and I wondered how other people - those who actually lost their loved ones - are doing. I was there that day, and my life will never be the same because of it; however, no one I was close to lost their life, but it has taken me seven years to really shake the whole thing from my head and heart. Imagine losing your sister, or daughter, or father in that way...I suppose those people will never quite shake it. Thankfully, we have a BIG God and my heart and prayers go out to them: for a peace that is beyond understanding, for a father to the fatherless, and a love that never fails.
