9-11 and the memory of all the precious lives lost will be in our collective memories forever, like some of the other tragic events that have shaped our generation. We've lived through some challenging and tragic times.
A moving tribute.
Dearest Ginger,
Lovely tribute! Indeed we should honor all those victims.
We will be celebrating a special birthday of an 8 year old boy here in Germany...
Love to you,
Mariette
Such a sad time for our nation.
Well said, Ginger. Never let anyone tell us to move on. Amen.
What sad facts! A day that will live forever in the memory of all of us that are old enough to remember it. We will all remember where we were and what we were doing when we heard the news. xo Diana
Thank you Ginger, for this post. I surely cannot forget. All New Yorkers cannot. And all Americans shouldn't either, as it is not over yet. xo,
Nobody will ever forget the sacrifice they did. Poignant post.

We will never forget, our prayers are with everyone.

Thank you. I've been weeping all weekend, and I'm standing on God's promise that He will take a curse and somehow turn it into a blessing. I trust Him when He teaches that He will comfort us, and in turn, use us to comfort others. Cherry Kay
