We Will Always Remember

I fall asleep every September 10 watching documentaries of September 11 and crying. The loss we experienced that day will always be remembered, and so will the way "we" as Americans came together. I have taught my kids about that awful day. We wake up on 9/11 watch documentaries while getting ready for school, eat a patriotic breakfast, watch my favorite clip (You Tube "Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning?" 9/11), cry together, and then wipe our tears and head to school. It is a very tender moment...

We are so blessed to live in this beautiful country, and I pray I can instill in my kids a love for their country. We are proud to be Americans. We will always remember 9/11.

I love that song and I also rewatch the same documentaries every year and hear all the stories again and somehow it always feels as fresh and as tragic as it did 11 years ago. Good for you for teaching your kids to love their country.
