Where were you when the world stop turning that September day....

"Undivided," --- Bon Jovi

That was my brother lost in the rubble
That was my sister lost in the crush
That was our mothers, those were our children
That was our fathers, that was each one of us
A million prayers to God above
A million tears make an ocean of

[chorus:]
One for love
One for truth
One for me, one for you

I found spirit, they couldnt ruin it
I found courage in the smoke and dust
I found faith in the songs you silenced
Deep down its ringing out in each of us
Yeah... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[chorus:]
One for love
One for truth
One for me, one for you

Where we once were divided, now we stand united
We stand as one... undivided.
How many hands? how many hearts?
How many dreams been torn apart?
Enough, enough... the time has come to rise back as

[chorus:]
One for love
One for truth
One for me, one for you

Where we once were divided now we stand united
We stand as one... undivided.

Undivided.
Undivided.

One for love
One for truth
One for me, one for you
Where we once were divided, now we stand united
We stand as one... undivided.

As we move forward today after eight years , I hope people remember the lives that were lost on this day. It breaks my heart that each year the media and "we" the people think less and less about what happen. This morning I watch the footage of 9/11, and it just felt like yesterday. I always hold my breath, in fear of something else happening every year on this day. That day had such an impacted on how I see things. It changed us all forever.


Michael and I both were student teaching in Keller, at Bear Creek Intermediate. One of the many awful memories of my horrible time at BCI and student teaching. I can't begin to tell you how much I dislike Keller. We were in the library for a TAKS meeting. A coach ran in and turned on the t.v. and the silence in the room was unbelievable and something I will never forget. I can tell you so many details about that day, even what I was wearing. A denim dress, dark red scarf and brown shoes. I never wore that dress again. It was hard being in a school and not knowing what to say to the students. Many of them knew the tragic events, because we did not start till 9:30. The school was buzzing with so many rumors, they hit the white house, ect. Luckily I worked in the Special Education department, since no kids came to CM we got to watch the news coverage most of the day. It was the first time I truly understood what evil was. I had gone to New York early in the year. And to this day can not remember seeing the towers, which I know we saw and that truly makes me sad.
