So...I was hoping for something much better than this. I had lots of ideas, which unfortunately I just did not have the time to carry through today :( I feel quite bad. But hopefully I will take them and post them sometime soon.

I want to take this space in order to express my gratitude to every hero, and my care for those who had to lose someone. I wrote this a few days ago, I'm not really much of a writer, so excuse that...but these are basically just the thoughts of a teenage American on 9/11.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Ten years ago to this day, 2,900 innocent lives were lost. Not only were these individuals killed, but in a way that none should have to spend their last minutes, nor in a way that any loved one should have to say goodbye.

Some were victims of this tragedy, others victims of their very own bravery, heroism, and patriotism. These heros had not super-powers but the ones every man is given, and that each man must individually chose to embrace: love, courage, and faith.

"Greater love has no one that this, that he lay down his life for his friends." These men and women proved that not only did they see their neighbors as friends, but as brothers. And in doing so, whether consciously or not, portrayed an extraordinary image of the ultimate sacrifice our Savior gave for us.

Now as we're coming into the 10th year of remembering every one affected by this tragedy, we keep our pride low and our heads high, looking towards the hope we have in God. As we tear down the walls between us, we build the strength of our country. In attempt to blow out our candle, terrorism instead has inflamed it, making it brighter, fiercer, and stronger, spreading it like a passionate wildfire across our nation.

So as we remember, care, pray, and love, we will do it as "one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Oh man. Saturday totally sucked. I got up early from Rich's house, had to run some last minute errands to get some stuff for Adriana. There's always a set of random food items that we buy when we're in the US and I had to pick them up. I got to the airport super early as I always do, and was greeted by absolute total and utter chaos. Microsoft apparently had had their sales convention in Denver and basically 15,000 people were flying out at the same time. It was nuts. I waited in line for an hour and a half to check in, then another 45 minutes to get through security. And I was at the airport 3 hours early, which of course most people don't do. So this meant that a huge group of people missed their flights, which created more chaos, and they had to wait in more lines, etc. It was absolutely unreal. But I survived and made it home to my baby in one piece!
