I love the posts you wrote, although of course it's very sad and stressful to relive it all and it takes a lot of gumption to remember and to FEEL it all again. Your remarks about looking to our hearts, making sure we are right with God, were echoed this week in the priest's homilies, where he implored us to be aware of OUR end times and urged us to find the strength to be examples of goodness and to never pass up a chance to spread the Good News.

Thank you for sharing this heart-felt post. I'm sorry for your loss that day. 9/11 is one of those defining events that mark a generation. Ideally, the events of that day should have called us back to God, as a nation. Sadly, that didn't happen--it seems like the exact opposite happened. <br /><br />Blessings!Kim Jollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670842504983601263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-26997053833170639882016-09-11T21:23:26.438-04:002016-09-11T21:23:26.438-04:00I am so sorry about your great loss and how this d...I am so sorry about your great loss and how this day now reminds you of that as well.

I visited his grave on the way to work and later it all stopped being about my sadness. It was an awful day. I knew no one who lost their lives during the attacks but it felt like an attack on me and all I held dear.

I really didn't stick my head in the sand but I didn't think I could deal with it. I will have to work on that issue about me. quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-67526748472772037062014-09-11T13:39:17.696-04:002014-09-11T13:39:17.696-04:00Thank you, Ceil.

And what a powerful connection you have to all the sadness of that day.<br /><br />I know what you mean about wanting to stick your head in the sand. It's just so overwhelming and hard to understand. I will keep you and your husbands family in my prayers today. All those people died because of hate.

Sweet friend, I appreciate you taking the time, thinking outside the box and joining in despite feeling a bit squeezed before I squeezed you more! But I know good stuff is in you and putting on the squeeze allowed for this beautiful blessing of a post to be shared.
