September 11

This photo of metropolitan New York City was taken by an Expedition Three crew member onboard the International Space Station on Sept. 11, 2001. A smoke plume rises from the Manhattan area where the World Trade Center was destroyed. The orbital outpost was flying at an altitude of about 250 miles.


I started to write out my memories of 9-11 with the intention of posting them here, but I changed my mind. The prince was 7 and in 2nd grade. The princess was almost 5 and in preschool. The king was working in Boise, ID and became stranded there for several days. It was sad, scary, and lonely. Our kids do not remember it. We should never forget, but today I'm not willing to relive it.
