Today. Eleven Years Ago.

9/11.  Everyone knows that date and what happened.  My family knows it a little too personally.

I will never forget the hours that crept by when I didn't know whether my Daddy would be walking me down the aisle at my wedding 5 months later.

He made it.  He saw a lot.  He went though a lot.  But he knew that he had to make it home to his family.  And he did.  I grew stronger in my relationship with God that day.  I grew stronger in my relationship with my family that day.

My heart aches for the families who never got to wrap their arms around their loved ones like I did.  May God wrap his arms around you today.

I love you, Daddy, my cat with 9 lives.  Thanks for never giving up.  Ever.
