My husband has been a uniformed Fire Fighter for 32 years and perhaps that’s one of the reasons why the loss of so many of his brothers that day still brings me to tears 10-years later. I mourn for their loss, but also for their families, for they live the nightmare I fear most. While everyone lost that day was important, I hold these people in my heart most closely.
Donate to the NYC Fire Fighters Affected by 9-11
They’re gone but those who survived are still suffering. I’m remembering both those who gave their lives as well as those who were spared that day, but are still suffering. I’ve made a donation to support the widows, children, and first responders who are struggling with health and mental issues from this tragic event. For information and to make your own donation, visit the Uniformed Firefighters Association of Greater New York.

This will be my only post today, in their honor my blog will be silent. My husband is across the state fighting a wildland fire (he is one of just a handful of men in his department that do both structural and wildland) and my son is waiting on orders to go to either Texas or Arkansas to a wildfire as well. I am grateful my husband will be among his brothers on this day of remembrance and I’ll likely spend it the same way I did 10 year ago…in sadness, tears, and deep sorrow.

Connie this is such a touching post. What a rough day you must be having today with your husband and son in harms way.
Please know that I will be praying for your family and all those of America’s Bravest. Thank you and your family for all they do for our country.
HUGGLES!
You’re so sweet, Lorie. Yes, it’s a tough day. I wish someone was here. My son just got the notice earlier today he’s headed to AR for sure, 2 weeks. The bad thing is that means his internship has 2 weeks added to it so now he won’t be home until mid-December. Every time he goes out the time gets extended. No specific fire, they’re prestaging them. Scary for the people of AR for sure.
Thanks again for the comment.
Connie
God bless all of them. Michael Lyons was a friend of a friend and left behind an unborn child. Thank you to your husband for what he does.
Ah Katie, I’m so sorry for your loss. (((HUGS)))
COnnie
Connie, God bless you and your family!!
Bobbie,
You’re so sweet. What a sad day.
Connie
I’ll pray for your husband’s safety. This is a great tribute to all of the firefighters lost on 9/11
Sam,
Thank you. Their passing remind me to cherish the person my husband is, every day.
