Every year when this date rolls around I think about where I was when this horrible event took place.  We were living Dallas, I was taking Austin to preschool and my cell phone rang.  It was Andy, “Have you heard the news?  All hell is breaking loose.”  I wasn’t sure if I should take Austin to school but decided to go ahead- I sat in the class with a couple other parents, every one seemed shocked and quiet.  I went home and turned on the news.  The images, just unbelievable. 

In the aftermath a lot of emails circulated, I’m not sure who sent this to me but I watch it every year.

I pray for peace

and I cry.  And I hug my kiddos a little longer and my pups a little tighter.
