Next Year...

on Sept. 11,
I won't...
pretend it's just another day
read facebook or news articles
watch TV or listen to the radio
I will...
remember that no matter how long it's been, it STILL bothers me
focus on God, family, and prayer
be fine with emotion


Every single year, I try to tell myself it's been long enough and I should be fine now. But, as I'm becoming more and more confident in who God has made me, I realized this year-it's just going to bother me and I'm not fine yet. It's going to be a day that I always think of in the back of my mind. A day that changed my family (and our country) forever. A day that I have that terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. A day that brings the sights and sounds of broken New York City and my young cousins to the forefront of my mind. It just is. And, that's ok.
