Hello there! I'd like to introduce myself..... My name is Joyce and I live in northern California, in the beautiful San Joaquin Valley. In 1975, I was blessed by God with a wonderful man named Stephen. Whether or not you believe in such a thing, ours truly was "love at first sight". We were married one year later. In time, we were further blessed with 5 beautiful children, four boys and one girl. Steve was my rock, my protector, my soul mate, and my best friend. We spent 30 precious years on this earth together, and for this I give thanks each and every day of my life.
Sadly, my dear Steve passed away in December of 2005. He was such a strong spirit and loving soul that I know he is still here, loving and watching over us.

We were reminded many times, yesterday. The flags at half staff, the firetrucks pulled to the front of stations. We were especially reminded as we drove to St Lukes Urgent Care, in Winghaven MO. Sitting at the entrance to Winghaven is a sculpture of twisted metal, from the towers and a plaque dedicated to those who lost their lives, on 9/11.
Thank you for this post, Joyce!

We will never forget. They interviewed 5 year olds (had not been born yet) and they knew sooooo much about it- that just shows their parents talked to them, taught them, and gave them the information they needed. I commend them. Let us always pray for all the lives lost, all the survivors and their families and all of mankind.
