Yes, I actually have two posts today...and this is my 200th.
It didn't seem right to combine a tribute to the heroes and victims
of that tragic day with a post about my little paintings...
It is so clear, it seems like it could have been last week ~
it's hard to believe it's been twelve years.
It was one of those times when you'll always remember
where you were when you heard the news...
I called my mom, then I called my dad.
He turned on his television while I was still on the phone
(one channel, CBS, just like it had been at the farm since I was little),
then he didn't say anything for several long minutes...
I was beginning to wonder if he remembered I was still on the line.
When he did speak, he said "Well, I've expected this for a long time...
just like during "War Two" (Daddy was a WWII veteran, Army Air Corps),
many other countries have dealt with atrocities like this
...we couldn't be exempt forever."
I wish we could have.
Bless all of them.
Love,
