10

It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since that day. I remember (just as you probably do) exactly where I was when I first heard what had happened. I was sitting in Speech class, a freshman in college who was still a bit homesick. This made me realize, even though I was wanting to be home, how blessed I was that everyone I loved back home was safe.

So much has happened in 10 years. I've since gotten engaged, graduated from college, gotten married, had two babies, and am anxiously awaiting our third. I have so much more in my life now to thankful for. And this anniversary reminds me to never take those things for granted. I hope we never go through something like that again, and continue to hold those affected in my thoughts and prayers. May we never forget to live and love in every moment we are given.
