Painfully, it's been 6 years since the Towers fell & thousands died. It's clearly one of those things that people are going to be able to say for the rest of their lives they know where they were at that very moment. It's the Kennedy assasination, MLK assasination, John Lennon assasination of our times! And I woke up this morning with a heavy heart, I listened to the live feed of the day's events & found myself feeling that pain & fear all over again.
The sense of loss is immeasurable. And I come home, hug my children & pray that this isn't the world I'm giving them. Then, I see a commercial...it's a wounded veteran of this "WAR" in Iraq...telling me that he supports this war even though it cost him his legs & that pulling out is quitting...that this is not a time for politics...ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???
Seriously...on this of all days...is that propaganda the kind of thing our fearless President really wants to cram down our stupid throats...TODAY??? & it's not a time for politics...it's a politically motivated commercial on a day when THOUSANDS of families are merely trying to survive one more anniversary of their immense loss...and this is how our government respects those people who were VICTIMS of just being! They are not the reason for this war...that attack is not the reason for this war...if it were...we would be in AFGHANISTAN where Bin Laden is...not in IRAQ!!!!
Do not blame this war on those poor innocent people who just got up to have a regular day at work & were stolen from their families in a moments notice!! This is GOERGE BUSH'S war...not the War To Defend The Thousands That Were Stolen From Those That Love Them!
I'm getting off my soap box & I'm not going to let those FUCKERS ruin a day that I think should be spent THANKING God for the people we love...& letting them know it...so YOU...all of you who read this...I LOVE YOU!!! I do, from the very core of my being! I am eternally grateful to know and love you...SINCERELY!
I will pray tonight for peace in the hearts & minds of those who lost loved ones six years ago...& for those of us who just feel the heart break of that day when we think of it. It truly is a national tragedy, one we should take more time to reflect on...it changed my life, that day...I appreciate the little things so much more...the beauty in JUST waking up, or getting a kiss...or the opportunity to yell at Brandon & Katelyn for bickering...they're all treasures!! And I'll pray for all of you that I love...for God to keep you safe, and warm & here with me for many more years...no matter how far away from me you are...Amy! :)...or how close! Peace & love be with you all!
I also have a request...a friend of a friend (her name is Lisa P.) is having surgery tomorrow...surgery that will require great strength & love...if you could all send her a little bit of yours, it would mean the world to my girlfriend Dawn & to me! Say a little prayer that all goes well, that she is fearless & fights this battle knowing that there are people she doesn't even know who are wishing her the best in the trying times ahead & knowing that she is going to be PERFECTLY fine! Keep the FAITH, Lisa...you are beautiful & strong and our hearts are with you through all of this!!!
I love you all so immensely...know that...you are all so special to me & I wouldn't be who I am without each of you!!!
