Remembering 9.11.01
I've always needed more than a moment of silent meditation on this day. I don't have the right words. Just love and honor each other. BBDish will return with live feed updates later on this afternoon.

This was perfect. Thank you for giving us perspective.
I love this blog!
Thank you for remembering... My ex-wife and I were living in NYC at the time and it was so traumatic for both of us!
She worked 4 blocks from the towers and saw it happen from her window... We were on the phone as soon as it happened and while talking, the second plane hit!
The phone lines all went down and I couldn't call her... however we were able to communicate online..
Insane week to say the least!!
God Bless Bless Us All
Good morning Carolyn, on this day of reflection and thanks!!!
Should have figured that you would do something that showed the class we have all come to expect from this site...
I never had the privledge to see that image in person, but remember those towers rising above the New York skyline just as we all did on that fateful day...
A day of prayer and reflection, indeed...

Please also reflect on those whose boots are in the sand half way around the world

Beautiful as always Carolyn! May God bless us and keep us today and always!!
Never let us forget those that died that day and the ones continuing to sacrifice for all of us!
Hi Carolyn and to all BBDishers,
I had posted this on a earlier post.I thought it would be better if those who hadn't read it before could do so now.I truly hope it helps all of us get through this today.
We Will Never Forget
Dedicated to the memory of those lost and the heros' of September
11th,2001.
We will never forget that freedom
comes at a cost,
On that fateful day in September of the lives that were lost.
Why did this tragedy happen to
you and to me,
All we ever wanted was to live,love
and be free.
We live in a country where our
freedom rings true,
Standing tall beneath our flag the
ole red,white and blue.
They thought to make us live our
lives in great fear,
Oh how wrong they were it only
caused us pain and tears.
Now we have come togetheras
one nation to say,
We will never forget,we are strong and are here to stay.
To the American people and to those who have lost loved ones and to the many heros of 9/11.I wrote this in the hopes that we will never forget and come together as one in the battle for freedom.With all my love and prayers to all.
Written by me JudyD in Tennessee
You are so right ! May we all take more than a minute or two to remember those all that lost their lives!

This is honestly one of my favorite things about your blog, Carolyn. Every single time you get me. Love you lots! I'm glad that each and everyone one of you are a part of life, even if it is only for a few months a year.
I wish you all well.
We will never forget those we lost on that horrible day. Prayers to all the families.
I will never forget that day or anything about it. I remember watching the news that morning as it happened, and trying to explain it to my son. Thank you for the rememberance.
Carolyn,
What a lovely tribute to all those who lost loved ones and friends on that fateful day. Thank you for all you do.
GOD Bless America.
A day of prayer, reflection and kindness.
Thank you Carolyn. And take all the time you need, I think a pause is required and puts it in perspective.
To all of you impacted, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
My thoughts and prayers are with all who were lost on 9/11/01. Let us also remember our Nation's soldiers on battlefields far from home and for the men & woman on U.S. soil that are diligently defending our nation and keeping us safe.
We must join with every American in the fierce and solemn promise: never again!
In Memory of My Brother:
James Thomas Fitzgerald, Jr. "Jimmy" / 1-28-50 to 9-11-95.
Carolyn, thank you for giving us this opportunity & outlet to reflect today.
I remember, and I will never forget.
Wonderful tribute. God bless AMERICA!
GOD Bless America!
Ditto.
Beautiful photo Carolyn, thank you for that.
One of the special touches that make this blog so popular and unique
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
(From In Flanders Fields by John McRae)
Carol, thank you taking the day, A much remembered day that shall we never forget.
Thanks, everyone.
New Top Post!
Thank you, Carolyn.
I was working in mid-town on that fateful day. My co-workers and I could see the towers from our office windows. Afterward, most of us were in shock. Later that day I walked through Times Square on my way home. All the neon lights were lit but the streets were deserted. It was surreal.
Spending the day reflecting on what we've lost and being thankful for what we have.
That is a beautiful photo Carolyn thank you for posting. While a great many Americans will never forget 9-11-01, I am afraid some have forgot that horrible day, and to many ppl have let their guard down. We must never forget that painful day nor should we ever forget about all the great men and woment serving this great country keeping us safe. This morning on the news they were showing the events as it happened minute by minute. I didnt want to see it again after watching it as it happen 8 years ago. It was too painful to watch then and it still is. My family and I will never forget the tragedy of that day, and all the pain of so many families that lost love ones. God Bless America and we can not and must not ever forget.
Thank You Carolyn...
In Rememberence of the day the world stood still.
All our lives were effected in one way or another.
Today our prayers and thoughts are with all who lost family and loved ones on that horrible September day.

It has always been a little surreal sharing a birthday with this day. The thought that came to my mind when I woke to this on 9/11/2001 was first,"it's my birthday!," followed with, "oh, it's not all about me." And that thought remains to this day...it's not all about me.
God Bless America
My prayers & love to all those affected by 9/11.
xoxo
Sherry it must be hard have to celebrate your birthday today, but thats what everyone is doing, they are celebrating those lives that were lost. They are remembering all the wonderful times they shared. So you get to celebrate life on a very special day.
Happy Birthday!!!!
