Take A Moment...

It's hard to believe that it has been 7 years since September 11, 2001.

I remember my mom calling to tell me what had happened. I thought for sure that it was just a fluke thing. I was sitting on my bed holding Michael with the TV on when the second plane hit.

I remember calling Sean and trying to get a hold of my sister. I remember my dad answering his phone at work and no longer giving the location, just his last name. (he worked for the FAA)

I remember wanting so badly to rush to the school to pick Noelle up from kindergarten just to have her home with me, but thinking that it would be best for her day to be "normal".

I remember seeing all of the images on TV and my mind not being able to process it all.

Today, take a moment and forget which political party you are for or whether or not you support the war.

Today, take a moment of silence and say a prayer for all of those whose lives will never be the same.

Today, take a moment and notice things around you, because a moment is all it takes for things to change forever.
