I am not trying to be insensitive by the title of this post. Last night, though, on Facebook, I shared my perspective on the day and thought it might be a good thing to share through this blog, as well.

Today is a day I will never forget. Yes, 12 years ago, planes were used to inflict unimaginable pain and agony on many individuals and families, and on our country and world, as well. Seven years ago today, though, my family of four boarded a plane to Colombia to meet the young boy I lie with right now, who made us a complete family of five. I hope others can find reasons to celebrate on this day, too. Never forget those who died and whose lives were changed forever. But do not let evil win. Treasure and focus on the good that surrounds us.
