Tonight we drove over to the 9/11 memorial that is next to the Fountain Valley Library. A local Eagle Scout made the memorial possible along with his troop. It is very simple, but its presence is powerful. After watching a portion of a documentary last night with the girls and discussing the events of September 11, 2001, viewing this piece of the World Trade Center tower was amazing.

we must have just missed you! i'm so glad we have this memorial to go to...it made it just THAT much more tangible to my boys. i was such a wreck on sunday...watching the show about the 9/11 babies who never met their dads. i wasn't sure i'd be able to keep it together to talk to my kiddos about it...but we did it and i feel better now! it always touches me so deeply to see their reactions and genuine concern for other people. anyway...thanks for leaving such a nice comment on my blog! wasn't the moon amazing????
That is so cool! But so sad that we have to have a memorial. We'll have to check it out next time we come visit.
