Today as we know is the annversary of 9/11 and as I started my day I remembered back to that horrible day that started out as a crisp, sunny morning with just a hint of fall in the air. As I walked to work that morning I remember thinking what a beautiful day. Shortly, after my arrival at the office the first plane struct the World Trade Center and I couldn't believe what I was hearing on the radio I went to a friend of mine and remember saying "Why is this happening!" Shortly after that my office was sent home; I can remember walking back home and the streets were silent, you could hear a pin drop, I looked up and saw 2 F16 scream by as they headed to Logan airport. I will never forget that feeling of sorrow and fear as I slowly walked up the street to my apartment.
As the days progressed I remember being glued to the TV listening to the stories of the many people who lost there lives and wondering if this country would ever be the same after this.
Today, my life has changed so much in the past seven years since 9/11 I am so grateful for the opportunities I have in my life, for Vinny, my family, my kids and friends. Today reminds all of us to slow down to stop and smell the roses and be thankful for all that we have.
I think of those who lost there lives and hope they are at peace.

i agree with you, I remeber being at work and seeing it on the news on the TV in the cafe. I remeber talking to dad and having him console me that everything will be ok. We are blessed to live in the US.
