Where Were You
I cannot help but hear Alan Jackson singing, Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning).
If you were alive and old enough to know what was happening, you probably remember exactly where you were on September 11, 2001. The fear, the shock, the horror, and the pure sadness of that day linger twenty-two years later.
There are days that we will never forget.
Two years ago yesterday, Norah breathed her last breath. We celebrated her life with family and friends by enjoying a walk, eating chicken nuggets, drinking milkshakes, sharing memories, and trying not to cry.
You have those days as well. Not all are sad memories—the birth of our children. We remember graduations. We remember engagements and weddings. We watch our children walk into their school for the first time and walk out on their last day.
Some days we will never forget. Some people we will never forget.
Remember those days. Enjoy them if you can. Endure them if you must. Move on as best you can. Live each day to the fullest.
“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12)
