Today is a hard day.
I am pretty sure that everyone has been effected by this day in one way or another for the past 10 years.
Maybe you have family in NYC.
Maybe you knew someone that died on 9/11/01.
Maybe you know someone who is overseas fighting for our country.
Maybe you have lost someone when they were deployed.
It is devastating, the effects that we live with, even 10 years later.
I have discovered that I prefer to mourn or remember, privately.
I almost don't want to remember, only because it hurts and I cry.
As most (or not) of you know, I lost my cousin, Kyle in Afgahanstan last year.
He lost his life 9 years later, in a country foreign to him.
It's harder to keep the tears at bay with a day like today.
I am utterly grateful for the men and women that serve our country.
I am so grateful to our Lord for allowing me to live in a country with so much freedom.
A day like today, does nothing but drop me to my knees in prayer. For all that have been effected by 9/11, which probably means you.

Praying for you always sweet friend! XO
I'm so sorry about your cousin. I'll keep your family in my prayers. You're cousin is a hero, to die for our country is beyond words. I hope that through the saddness you also know he will never be forgotten :)
