Has it really been 7 years?


I have come to my blog twice today to upload new pictures from the last few days, but it just didn't seem right.....

Has it really be 7 years?  I remember exactly where I was standing at the office, what I was doing when I saw everything unfold LIVE on The Today Show.  

Just so hard to believe that it actually happened.  

I can still see the images from pictures and news stories just like it was earlier today and it happened even before Emma was born!

I thought this poem I ran across was very fitting:

Mother Teresa's Anyway Poem

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

[Reportedly inscribed on the wall of Mother Teresa's children's home in Calcutta, and attributed to her. However, an article in the New York Times has since reported (March 8, 2002) that the original version of this poem was written by Kent M. Keith.]
