911DA Story: Story
My husband, as usual for our anniversary, let me sleep in. I am the spoilt one; he fixes me breakfast and then wakes me for a wonderful day of love and togetherness. This would be a special celebration, it was our 25th wedding anniversary, and I know there were bunches of exciting thing planned by both of us.
He couldn't pull himself away from the broadcast until after the second plane had been shown about ten times, horror, disbelief, shock, and a combination of all. Shaking he came to me to break the news of our day. We spent the better part of our day on our knees, watching in disbelief, crying, shaking, trying to get a grasp on the whole picture. I called everyone we knew & loved, just for the reassurance that they were still there. Each time I hung up the phone, I thanked God for his grace and prayed for all those who lost all. I am grateful that I did not lose anyone directly in the attacks, but what the world lost will never be regained. We lost heroes, children, mothers & fathers, sisters & brothers, the list goes on & on. Mostly I fear we lost more souls than should be counted.
As for the rest of my anniversaries, we pray for peace, love & understanding. And we shall even more celebrate the fact that we are.
