A DAY TO REMEMBER-SEPTEMBER 11

As the news stations show clips of that day, we all have our memories and stories of what we were doing, where we were and the fears for those we loved. Some of us saw the Towers coming down live while others caught it on other news clips. Through the years there have been documentaries on the other stories that happened that day like the boats and ferries that evacuated people from New York City. The Principal that walked her students to safey. And even a movie or two about some of the background stories. Now we are thinking about those who have suffered lung disease, PTSD and cancer from being first responders. The ramifications of the conflicts that followed and continue to affect us are the legacy. As we all reflect on that day, may we continue to live in hope of a peaceful world!

A POSTCARD FROM NEW YORK CITY

My daughter Sonya has a good friend with family in New York. During her teens she had the opportunity to visit the beautiful city. It is still on my bucket list to spend some time there.

On August 10, 1995 she sent us this card- "Hey Mom, Dad & Tash! The weather is beautiful here about 85 F and sunny. New Jersey is nice and I am looking forward to going to Upstate, Long Island and especially New York City. Tomorrow Becca and I are going to a Fleamarket in Long Island. Charlie and Lisa are great people and they are making my trip quite enjoyable. Amanda (the baby) is so adorable. Well got to go now. Miss you, Love you, Sonya XO"

Other family members have visited this beautiful and famous American city. Of course with the memory of September 11, it remains in all our hearts.
