Derek and I went to the kidney specialist today. Don't know if I was imagining things, but it seemed so quiet outside. Like everything was moving in slow motion. I couldn't bring myself to watch tv this morning. It's hard to believe that it's been a year since this horrific tragedy. I drove all day with my lights on in rememberance. You'd be surprised at how many cars I passed that did the same.

Nothing too exciting at the doctors office. Just the same ol' bs they told us in the hospital. At least they're positive about his kidneys. Seem to think he'll bounce back fairly well. So, after we left there, we went to Borders to look around and then came home. Am still not feeling up to par, but better than yesterday and the day before. Well, I have to go do the dishes. Here's to America, may peace and love ease your pain.  These two poems I found on a website. I did not write them.

After awhile you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean
leaning and company,
and it doesn't mean security.

And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes open,
With the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child,
And you learn to build all your roads on today
Because you never know what will happen tomorrow.

After awhile you learn that
even sunshine burns if you get too much.
And you learn to plant you own garden
and decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure,
That you really are strong,
And you really do have worth.

In Memory

For the innocent people who died needlessly on September 11, 2001,
we shall light a candle so you can find your way to the heavens.

For those to whom have lost a loved one,
we will come together to show our love and support,
and hope that we can forgive our nation
for crumbling for one split second.

Now on this day we will unite and come together
to rebuild our families and cherish those we still have,
so we can build a strong Nation.

To the people we lost September 11, 2001,
we will never forget, but knowing you're with us, we are one.

We are the United States.

Quote of the day: "As I understand it, all these people are dead because of religion. And if you live to be a thousand years old, will that ever make any sense? Will that ever make any goddamned sense?"

~David Letterman on the attacks of Sept. 11th
