Very well said, Jen. I feel the same way.
And tupelocreedfan, what a day of mixed emotions for you. I can only imagine.
I have two coworkers that lost a family member that day so my thoughts and prayers are with them today as well. I had kind of a bittersweet experience myself that morning. I was at work and called my parents to see if they heard what was happening. My dad picked up the phone and I could tell by the sound of his voice that he was extremely upset and he just broke down and started crying. I've only seen/heard him break down like that two other times in my life and soon I was in tears as well. I'm sharing this here because although it was very sad, it also brought my dad and I a little closer together. Since then, I have noticed changes in him and between us. So out of the horrific tragedy of that day, some positive things came out of it for me.
