It’s me who wants for them. Around Christmas, it’s me making their gift wish list. It’s me asking for more stuff for them. But this year, I’m going to do something different.

Where were you on September 11, 2001? The answer to that question is often a status update on social media on each anniversary of that horrific day.

While all our lives were changed that day, we were also probably still able to quickly resume a “normal” life. But I want to take a moment to … Continue reading →
