This morning I said good-bye to my husband as he leaves to hit the road in the truck. He'll be gone for a while. Not sure when he'll be back. It was nice having him home for a day. I don't know how the military wives do it. Not seeing their spouse or loved ones for months at a time. It makes me sad that he is gone for probably weeks if not months this time.
I just watched a video on You-Tube of the 911 attack. I sat here and wept. At times uncontrollably. Seeing those towers fall and watching those people just throw themselves out of the windows because hitting the pavement below would be better than burning alive brought back all those emotions as if it were yesterday. How soon people forget that this was an act of terrorism on our land. On our home. The home of the FREE and the BRAVE. Every one of those firefighters, policeman and women, and good Samaritans that lost their lives on that fateful day are true heroes. And all of us looked on in disbelief and horror as Muslim extremists attacked our country.
May God be with our brave soldiers abroad and let us all pray for them to be brought home safely.
