In Rememberance....9/11/01

Today, I weep thinking of all of the families that were forever changed 8 years ago by acts of terrorism. I think of all the children who lost mommies and daddies, wives who became widows, husbands who became widowers, parents who had to bury their children and all the friends and family members left behind to grieve.




I remember as if it were yesterday, attending the remembrance service at Christian Cultural Center and witnessing an 8 month pregnant 9/11 widow as she spoke of the husband she lost. My heart ached as I thought of the unborn child that would never get a chance to meet her father.





Today, I think of a 10 year old girl who lost her mother, my classmate, on that dreadful day at the precious young age of 2. I can't help but think of my own children and what it must be like growing up without mommy. I pray a special prayer for the children of 9/11.





Simultaneously I celebrate those who survived and lived to build families of their own.





Wishing all of us God's peace and comfort as we remember...

Dedicated to the families of Calvin J.Gooding and Diarelia Jovannah Mena
