Eight years ago today, The earth stood still as we watched in horror at what terrorist can do in a few moments. I remember that day as if it were yesterday, I think we all do.....
I also remember the 1 year anniversary as if it were yesterday also. I remember waking up at midnight in labor, 3 weeks early and thinking, I can NOT have this baby on 9/11! I didn't want my baby to share a day with all the grief the world shared on this day. As we arrived at the hospital there were many other ladies who felt the same way, we were all crying and carrying on about how we had to wait till the next day! I had an emergency C-section and by 6:00 A.M. I was holding my sweet bundle of joy... SHELBY! For that moment I forgot about the grief and enjoyed this new life i was holding, and suddenly life didn't seem so bad! This was a good thing to happen on the anniversary of the worst terror attack on US soil! This new year brought a new life and joy to so manyShelby, we love you so much and we are grateful to have your special spirit in our home! You bring joy to us every day and always keep us laughing! You are the bright spot of 9/11, the year after! Happy Birthday baby!
