The Moment that Changed the World: September 11th

This Picture speaks for itself.  It was the moment that changed the world.  I remember the day it happend.  I know excatly what I was doing.  I was working at National Health Care.  I was a Unit Secretary on the non-skilled unit. It was always quiet nothing much changed.  We had a PA that day checking on the Residences.  She came down and said something about a bombing. I had no clue what she was talking about.  She said I can not  believe you dont know what I am talking about. It is allover the news.  So I went down to the break room.  That was the moment that I realized the world would never be the same.

 At the time my sister-in-law,Kristen, was working on the top floor in one of the tallest building in Dallas. In all my selfishness in that moment All I could think about was if it could happen in New York and they could get to the Pentagon they could have a plan to hit that Building.  I called her and left her a message.  I never heard from her but I figured my brother would call me if something happened and I would see it on the news.  I then prayed( I know I should have done that first) and God gave me a peace.  There was no peace for many for a long time to come.

Overview of Thanksgiving Adventures

Today was Thanksgiving.  It was different this year than most recent years.  The way I have celebrated has changed over the years. Some out of choice some out of necessity. The last four years we had Orphan Thanksgiving. (more thoughts on that later) We had Thanksgiving for the people who didnt have anywhere else to go, The year before that, we went out to eat. The year before that was spent with my granny blythe in the nursing home.  The two years before that Granny was in the hospital so we ate cafeteria food.  Thanksgiving is supposed to be about family.  It is for us.  
All are chosen. Some we are blessed and born with. Some we are just blessed with.  It hasn't mattered; the who is always the same and that is family.  Not always the same family members but always family.The where is usually different every two years or so.  The why is always the same and that is the love of family.
