2TC23 ~ Never Forget

9/11

I am crying as I type this blog post. Just looking at this date makes the tears come. Our country will never, ever be the same because of what happened 11 years ago. I remember and always will remember what I was doing at the exact time I heard. I weep for the people that lost their lives that day. I weep for the ones who lost a loved one. I smile when I think of all the people that helped that day; Firemen, Police, Military Forces and so many more. Then, unfortunately I weep again because some of those same Heroes are fighting a battle today because of things they were exposed to on 9/11/01.

I try so hard just to think of the victims and their families and pray for them and not focus on the cowards that invaded our land. I love my country and it angers me when someone tries to destroy something I hold so dear. I want this date to bring sympathy, thoughts and prayers to those affected. If we let anger and bitterness crowd our minds......the cowards of that day get what they wanted. I will not let that happen.

Join us today at Twisted Tuesdays remembering the 9/11 victims and families with this challenge....

THE CHALLENGE

Make a Sympathy or Thinking of You themed creation.

THE TWIST

We here at Twisted Tuesdays ask that you HUG THE ONES THAT YOU HOLD DEAR.
