9-11

I thought I had put my feelings in perspective to 9-11 until today, it started hitting me again in waves and I have had some teary moments during the day.  So sad that this tragic event happened in our lifetime and that it has forever changed who we are and how we feel.  I went to the airport and flew today, I will probably go to the airport again in the morning but I am not sure I will fly.  Part of me wants to so I can show them that they have not taken away my freedom totally, the other part of me is reverent, retrospective, superstitious and yes, a little bit scared.  There was increased security at our airport today, police patrolling the airport, helicopters in the sky from Buckley Airforce Base and I am sure it will be that way for the next while.  I pray with everything I have that we will make it through the next few hours without any major threats or events.  If you think about it, they are winning just a little bit in the fact that we do not feel safe and are sitting on pins and needles waiting for the next big thing to happen.
