I remember the day like yesterday. It's all so clear in my mind. I was in my car, sitting at the red light in town right infront of McDonalds. News came across the radio... I couldn't believe what I was hearing. That day forever changed the hearts of ever American.
It was so different to be in New York last week and visiting Ground Zero. Brad and I spent a lot of time there. I can't even begin to describe the feelings being there stirred up in me, the emotions.
We walked down the street and imagined what the people of New York witnessed that day. The shock, the horror, the sadness. I mean what would you do if you were walking down the street on any ordinary morning and a plane flew into the building you were possibly about to walk into? The your husband, wife, family member or friend could be in? If you got a phone call from your husband who was on a plane that was highjacked?
We were able to even talk with some New York residents, they shared stories and information. I still get chills. I heard over and over, this is not the same city it was before 9/11/01. "This changed the attitude of the city, of the people here.."
I feel like their just aren't adequate words to even describe. I'll never forget the most tragic day our nation has ever seen.

Your pictures are amazing. My heart lodges in my throat just looking at them and remembering what it was like to see the site in person. When we went to NYC on a mission trip a few years ago, I was just blown away by it all. It's so different, seeing the real thing in person ... actually seeing the scars on the neighboring buildings and reading the tributes people put up for their loved ones. Breaks my heart.
