Congrats!

It’s amazing how we can remember exactly what we were doing when events happeh.

Renae: “I was playing with my baby nephew early in the morning, when my parents called and said to turn on the TV.’

Incredible how it all happened and what we were doing and felt. As for now, I’m hoping you’re enjoying college life at it’s fullest. Again, congratulations.

Jane, 9/11 is difficult. I resisted watching reports because having l watched it live it is too painful to see it again. The day here was beautiful, reminding me of that day of the blue skies being blotted out by fire and smoke.
How wonderful that you know a child born on that day representing how life goes on.
Happily, as I write this the teacher’s strike seems to be settled, pending a vote. Kids should be back where they belong, in the classroom. I was disappointed that teachers decided to strike rather than start school without a contract and keep negotiating.

I am going to watch kid’s playing football on Saturday and enjoy the lovely weather this weekend with sun in the daytime and the beautiful moon at night. As always, nature brings us the comfort of season’s changing and the cycle of life which happens regardless of our pain or pleasure.

Jane, yesterday I was thinking about my husband Ron. As a firefighter watching 911 on the actual day was incredibly hard for him. I’m feeling blessed that I was married to him for all of years we had together.

I remember when he was working at Holland America, Ron and his co-workers visited the actual spot where it all happened. His friend said to a police officer, “my friend here was an officer in the fire department”. The officer embraced Ron and then proceeded to take him down to the actual spot where most people don’t get to go. They both cried for all that was lost.

So today, I pray for all of those lives lost and for their families. I pray for my children who to this day miss their father. I’m feeling blessed that I live in this wonderful country, and feel blessed for the love of family and friends!
