I went to our high school football game tonight. Before, the national anthem, there was a 9/11 tribute...on video. Relived that moment..when I saw it unfold, before Ben turned 1. The three of us were in the master bedroom getting ready for work. Ben was in his bouncy seat, while Jack and I took turns using the mirror...shaving, make-up etc. I saw it first and told Jack to get to the TV, we were confused. At first, Jack thought it was only a small private plane that made a wrong turn...then it became our reality.
During the video this evening, they played the song, "God Love the USA", at that moment, the band was starting to take the field, and all the youth football teams were lined up, ready to run the field and make the tunnel for the high school team. I quit watching the video and concentrated on our future, running to get into position...as the song kept playing. I will admit, it was emotional. I watched #3 the whole time.
Diana left town today and asked me if I were going to be okay. I reassured her that I would, although I think I had crossed my fingers as I said it. Good friends are like precious stones..so much beauty and you don't want to lose them.
As we approach the 10yr anniversary...hug your loved ones..but don't forget about your friends, cuz everyone has a story and we all need each other. Go Cyclones!!
