Seven Years ago today I was in shock sitting at my desk when I was
in the corporate world…
My co-workers and I were all on the computer watching the news..
Sadness and nervousness throughout the office and plant..
Everyone stopped working…
The office workers, the management, the manufacturing and warehouse
employees…
Our consultant from Atlanta walked in shaking..
He saw it all while his plane was landing at Newark…I can still
see his face and am a little emotional thinking about it..
Walking in circles and shaking he was telling us what he witnessed..
He said he drove his car as fast as he could from Newark, NJ to
Easton, Pa to get away from what was happening.
We all know what happened here in the US..
Immediately, we all came together as one.
Competitors hugged, politicians united and old friends became new
again..
The stadium was quiet..
Three days later at my sons high school football game..
Silence was in the air…
Our National Anthem played and tears were everywhere..
Strangers hugging, strangers singing in rhythm as they moved side
to side..
September 11, 2001 is a day to never forget..
Not only the destruction it has caused our nation, but..
to remember how we ‘all’ were ‘one’.
Have a great day Tina and live life to it’s fullest
today and everyday.
In Good Health,
Barry Lovelace

I remember playing the National Anthem that following Friday. It was hard to get the notes out when you see tears in the eyes of people you are playing in front of.
