I'm so surprised by how I felt today. I knew 9/11 was coming, but I didn't expect to feel so emotional about it! I cried at the end of church when we sang America the Beautiful. I think I would have been OK until I looked at the fireman who had come to church in his dress blues. (After church, he said that he had been trying to organize a group of firemen to come in their full gear. Now that would have completely done me in!!!) Then, since it is the first Sunday of football (!), I spent the day watching the games and managed to cry during each one of the 9/11 memorial ceremonies that they had. And they were all essentially the same! My husband just shook his head, but I am fairly certain that his eyes were a bit bleary when a little boy started talking about being born a month after his dad died!!!
