Today is the 10th anniversary of 9/11. I don't remember a whole lot about my childhood (I know, horrible, I'm not even 20 yet!), but I do remember that day. I was in either 3rd or 4th grade and it was lunch time. We were all lined up to go to recess but we couldn't go outside. My friend, Chelsey, and I thought there was a disease going around that prevented us from going outside. Then when I got home, I saw my mom crying in front of the t.v. I didn't quite understand right then, but over time I just realized the severity. I also learned that one of the planes had crossed into the bottom half of Ohio but turned around--but it explained why we couldn't go outside.
God bless America, the leaders of our nation, and those fighting to keep this country safe.

What Are Words
Back story to this beautiful song, sung by Chris Medina, American Idol contestant:
Chris was engaged to his beautiful fiancee and just five months before their wedding, she got in a terrible accident. After the accident, she suffered a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). But rather than leave her in her time of need, he stuck by her side.
This song makes me hope I find that special someone who would truly follow the message of this song--to keep being with the person you love, regardless of how hard the circumstances are.
This also makes me think of my wonderful parents. In my mind this should be added to their collection of "Our Songs". I love you both.
Enjoy.
"What are words if you really don't mean them when you say them? What are words if they're only for good times then they're done? When it's love, yeah, you say them out loud. Those words, they never go away; they live on, even when we're gone."
