We Remember...

9/11 seems just like yesterday to me. I think everyone remembers where they were when they found out about the Twin Towers being hit. I was on my way to work at America First. I remember the awful feeling in the air as I walked through the doors and heard on the TV what had happened. It made me sick. I am the type of person that can live in denial and not think about what is happening because it stresses me out too much. If I were to have thought about it then like I should have I probably would have had an anxiety attack.

I now can watch and hear about what happened and not feel like I am going to panic. Benton and I watched the movie they aired on Sunday night showing what was happening inside the towers. I can't even imagine what they all went through. After the movie, they mentioned the Healing Field in Sandy. I decided I should go and give my respects to all of the men and women who sacrificed their lives on that day.

The Utah Healing Field display commemorates the tragic loss that took place 10 years ago with a display of more than 3000 American flags—one for each victim.

I am a visual person and seeing how many flags/people that really were killed was overwhelming. For each flag they had a narration of each individual. I am glad we spent the time to go and read about those who died that day.

I am sure glad to have Cambree in my life and to be a mommy.

I had to give a kiss to Cambree and tell her how very much I loved her. I am so lucky to be able to see her grow up. It brings tears to my eyes thinking of all those who couldn't.

We will never forget about those who were lost on September 11th.

I watched that same show on Sunday and cried through the whole thing. It gave a whole new perspective on things. It's one thing to just hear about the events but to actually see it, is just heartbreaking. I can't imagine the terror. How sweet of you guys to go to that field, what a great way to remember that day.
