A few weeks after September 11Th, I had lunch with my in laws. My Father-in-law, Jim, asked me if I remembered where I was, what I was doing, and what I was wearing the day the Twin Towers came down. I did remember, and I always will, that I was wearing my pajamas, watching it live on the TV in the home I was house sitting, with my 1 year-old son on my lap.
My father-in-law went on to tell me that he will never forget where he was and what he was wearing the day that JFK was assassinated.
As I was remembering this conversation today, I was thinking about another day in History that I will never forget. As much as I worry about the state of our country and what impact today will have on our lives, I will, none the less, always remember where I was the day Obama became President of the United States. Let's hope he doesn't make things worse than they are...

i feel the same about today. though i didn't vote for him, admittedly i've been far more into this inauguration that i would have had it been mccain. and to a naysayer, dare i say it? i feel pretty hopeful.
ReplyDeleteso glad you started a blog! xo
I'll never forget inauguration day this year also; probably more because I'm loving being in Hawaii!!! Just to set the record straight, PRico is still THE ISLAND. . .
