No Vintage Photo Friday today

Instead a photo from the aftermath of 9/11 – this flag was unfurled on the Pentagon during rescue operations. 9/11 literally changed my life – it was this day,this event that crystallized the relationship I was in – on that day I realized I needed to be married to the amazing man I was with – to publicly declare that I was with him and he was with me.  And he had that same moment of clarity – we had been together off and on for 9 years  – we were up and we were down – and we never were at the same place at the same time – and suddenly we were.  We clung to each other  – as many people did – and realized all the little roadblocks we had thrown in each other’s way were BS. The small stuff didn’t matter anymore – LOVE matters.

Arlington. Va. (Sept. 13, 2001) -- Military servicemembers render honors as fire and rescue workers unfurl a huge American flag over the side of the Pentagon during rescue and recovery efforts following the 11 Sept. terrorist attack. The attack came at approximately 9:40 a.m. as a hijacked commercial airliner, originating from Washington D.C.'s Dulles airport, was flown into the southern side of the building facing Route 27.

Love matters

Peace be with you

    I hold your hand here on this day. I had no words for my blog – it is the lovely Sarah’s 10th birthday, and I have a very sick cat who must go to the vet. These are the things that matter, So I printed a list of all those who lost their lives that horrible day – each name a life behind it. The list goes on & on & on, even in a tiny font size. Very sobering. Peace be with you too, with us all.
