September 11 - Ten Years Later

Ten years ago, a day like today was a day that many knew as a frightful nightmare. I salute all of those people who helped clear the rubble, and send a prayer to all of those directly affected by the tragedy. But today I have the chance to always remember it as my nephew's baby shower. A day of celebration for a new life - no grief, just happiness and excitement. For one day I can rejoice that I will be an important part of another little person's life, in a different way than being a mother. I can look into the future and see the bad, and the good - and ultimately smile. I hope that today many more can share in my experience and make it a day of hope and joy, and less grief!
