I wanted to blog quickly on this historical day. It is the day that I found out that Osama Bin Ladin was killed. Normally I don't cheer the death of people.. but I also recall a day that I had to comfort my family from the sights and sounds of death from innocent people on 9/11. I recall the day(S) plural, that my daughter had to kiss her soldier goodbye and watch her broken heart weep. I recall the years and years that a brave son in law gave of his life to fight for this country because of that day - years that will never be given back to him. I recall the fear of terrorism, and the pat downs at each and every airport because of security. I recall the 47 thousand soldiers doing exactly what they were asked to do and never returning to their families. There isn't an evil enough place for a person that could cause all of this. I remember putting up the thousands and thousands of flags in remembrance of those lost in an instant. I am aware of the other countries that were brave enough to join with us. I recall a shocked look on a President's face as he read to little children - and how he was brave enough to go in with the big guns and make this day happen. I do not credit Obama for this - he is a chicken in every sense of the word - President Bush took all the harassing about his revenge - but I was always proud of him for that. I am grateful that I will not be Osama's judge. The signs of the times are here - and I need to hold strong to the beliefs and council I have received and are vital for my family's future, the future of my grandchildren. So today - I'll blog for the last time about an evil man,and I will not post a picture of his face on my little niche of the world, and that I'm glad the world is rid of him.
