I was planning to write something on what 9-11 means to me and then I received an email from Diana with FishFantics, a vendor at the Oxnard Farmer’s Market held on Sundays.
Here’s what she had to say in her email about 9-11:
Our hearts are conflicted tonight….As we consider and remember the horrific attacks on our Country, 10 yrs ago tomorrow, our family is both incredibly sad and incredibly proud. The lives that were lost and their families left behind, forever impacted ~ we can’t imagine that grief. But the bravery and courage of those men and women who fought, saved, rescued, dug for, sacrificed for and even gave their own lives for others (for all of us really) is such an encouragement. With overflowing gratitude we get ready to lay our children down in their safe, warm beds tonight. Lord willing we will wake tomorrow and join our fellow country men in remembering…… and then will move on to raising our children, worshipping our God, visiting our loved ones, or whatever we CHOOSE to do ~ in Freedom and Safety. We are PROUD AND GRATEFUL AMERICANS, inspired by the GOOD, BRAVE, FAITHFUL ones that rose up, banded together and fought against evil.
Dania & Chris
