"I REMEMBER"I remember 9-11-01 and...
I WILL NEVER FORGET:
exactly where I was when I first heard about a plane hitting the World Trade Center.
the emotions of horror, fear, and disbelief that filled me at that first moment and as further tragedies unfolded.
the weeks and months following when our spirits were numb.
the deep, limitless, and unspeakable sorrow we felt.
the ways we reached out to console each other in our grief.
how much I love the United States of America.
how grateful I am to have been blessed to be born in America.
the innocent lives lost on that day in New York City, at the Pentagon, and in a field in Pennsylvania.
the bravery and love of those who gave their lives to save others on 9-11.
the men and women trapped in that living hell of the World Trade Center aflame who threw themselves out of that inferno into the loving arms of God and into eternity.
that every moment is precious and we NEVER know when the day that greets us on awakening may be our last.
to appreciate each day, one-day-at-a-time.
the prayers that went up for those that were missing.
how grateful I was to be able to live through those chaotic times without even thinking of taking a drink.

Amen about living through the time witout taking a drink,I'm so there with you.
Such a great tribute PG, thank you for sharing from your heart! Blessings dear one!
Didn't even THINK of a drink--Yeeah!
Now just what kinda miracle is THAT?
It is God doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves.
Very nice PG. Thanks for sharing!!!
I was still drinking. I stuffed those feelings in a bottle, and I couldn't be there for anyone else. You are blessed to have had the AA fellowship and sobriety to help you get through this and help others. It is a miracle!
Amen
Nice tribute to an amazingly horrible day. It's almost hard to believe it happened.
I think it is a day that one won't forget where they were or what they were doing.
