Two nights in and with barely any sleep;  I was having a panic attack. I wasn’t ready for this, my life was upside down.

I probably can’t remember where I was last Tuesday at 8:45 am, but I remember exactly where I was on September 11, 2001 when I heard the news.  I remember how I felt.  I remember the images.  I remember who I talked with and how my community processed it. Time stopped that moment and then everything was slow motion for weeks on end. 

While January 1 marks a new year on the calendar, the First Day of School marks a new year for most of America.

Time flew so fast; we arrived and within a blink of an eye we were gone. It’s like that every time I go see them

 Hi there, it’s been a long time. It’s been 34 years since well, since I was you. I’m sorry that I’ve taken so long to write but I thought it was time that I contacted you to tell you how life has turned out so far and to try share a little of the wisdom that I’ve gained over the years
