I had just dropped off my children at school when I heard about N.Y. on the radio. I was going back home to get dressed for a funeral. I was a Pau Barer for our truck driver and friend who died of a heart attack while hog hunting with his 15 yr old grandson. This day already weigh heavy on my heart then to hear about everything else that happened around the U.S. I didn't know if I was going to be able to speak to anyone without crying. My head was spinning with thoughts of who to grieve for more. Or could I grieve any more than I already am. My heart wanted to explode. I wanted to be with my wife and children and hold them forever. I look at my children differently today than I did on 9-10. GOD truly has touched millions of lives in one way or another.
