Well, it’s that time of the year again
I nearly slept through it this year. I had my earplugs in, and didn’t sleep well over night, so I was very tardy getting up. Just like that day. In 2001 I didn’t hear the phone ring. Mr. Right did, and came into the bedroom to report the news he had been told over the phone. In 2008, I missed John calling to remind us to lower the flags outside on the lawn.
It’s cloudy today, though. It is not that bright, heartbreaking blue that makes my throat catch no matter when I see it.
Today I have time to sit on the couch and sip my coffee. That day, we dressed and ran to Heather’s, the streets eerily quiet on the way.
There will be more thoughts throughout the day… today belongs to the thoughts and feelings of those of us who watched. Of those of us who lost. Today does not belong to Islam - it belongs to the USA.
Hey Ken, I can’t beleive it has been 7 years since you called Mom for the last time. Not a day goes by that Mom and Dad don’t mention you. There is an empty space in their hearts since that day. I know time heals all wounds, but Mom and Dad have never been the same. No parent should loose a child. I am thinking of you.
You brother Chris
