Yesterday I spent it working on quilts. I had ladies come and help me work on quilts for the flood victims. The ladies worked from 9:00 in the morning until 3:00 in the afternoon. I worked from 7:30 in the morning until 7:30 at night. I should of stayed in bed for I wasn't feeling the best. I have a sinus infection with a temperature of 102 I figure I had the help I wasn't going to turn them down. Today I wake up in tears thinking of all the families that have lost a love one and part of me wishing I could have been there but not in the condition I am today. I even woke up in tears as I was dreaming of children of 911 crying and asking for help and I was trying to protect them all from the horror that was happening I woke up with tears running down my face. I wanted you to know that you were in my prayers and in our hearts. Many people ask me why do I continue my only answer to them is remembering the faces of so many families that we gave out quilts to. Remembering the families that helped me help others so I can make sure those that still have yet to receive will. I owe you alot to families of 911 that supported me and help me reach out to other families. I feel like I made more friends through the years and always have you all in my prayers. Today was not an easy day for any of you. I wish I could take all your pain away but I know I can't I can only pray that God will help you through this journey that have taught us all what happens when we are not careful. We live in a world that is not safe and we need to watch out for one another. It's been seven years since that horrible day. The day that made our country stop and care for one another and do something. I just hope that we have not forgotten and continue to do for others. That is what makes us all strong is when we stand together and help one another out. Doris I think of you often you lost your beloved son and now you lost your husband. Kathy I know your strong I know it and I also know how much you loved your sister Patty. It shows as you talk about Patty and your face glow as you talk about her. Your niece is growing to be a beautiful young lady and you are helping her for you know that your sister would have wanted that. To all the rest I have not forgotten my wonderful friend Adele who God send my way so we can meet. You are all wonderful and loving people you are all God children that he has brought into my path to meet and grow and become stronger. You all taught me how to continue even thought there seem like there is no hope. All I have to do is picture your faces in my mind and heart and no one can tell me it can't be done because I show them that I can. You made my life richer for when you reach out to God and let him in you do become richer in spirit and that is so important. I just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten and never will. We do care and I do still have you all in my heart. Kenneth your son was a truly awesome young man all of your love ones were. They all left a mark in this world and they made it better for the rest of us. So on this day I will always keep you all close to my heart and every year to come.
911 Seven years later
Seven years ago the world stop for a while the Twin Towers were attack the pentagon was attacked four plane were taken over by terrorist but flight 93 did not let the terrorist kill anymore people they gave of themselves to save others. I'm no longer just a farm wife and mother I'm a woman with a mission. Seven years ago my heart open to all those families that were in pain and now seven years later I'm still working with the help of many to continue making quilts for 911 families for fallen soldiers, Katrina and flood victims right here in my own state. I will continue to try and bring comfort to all those that wish our comfort. What happen on 911 will always stay with me it woke me up to reaching out to others and defending all those that need it. It also open me up to just reach out to anyone that need me and if they just need me to listen well I'm here for them also. We were in New York on August 14 through the 18 and here are some pictures of what Ground Zero still looks like.
