#911 13 years later

Not much to say today, really.

But I will just the same.

The news media will be all over this topic today and for those of us who were over 30 on September 11, 2001, we can reflect on how our lives and society has changed during the past 13 years.

But what really strikes me is that while my kids were teens and they saw their young lives change, most of them now have kids.

My grandkids range in age from 16 years old down to 11 days old.

They don’t know about the world before the Twin Towers were struck.

It’s a history lesson for them.  Not a real life event.

A couple weeks ago I watched the movie Parkland about the events immediately after President Kennedy was shot.  I was 3 years old.  It is a history lesson in my life, not a real life event.

Don’t forget history, but also focus on the present and the future.
