9/11 Healing Field

Here in Arizona at tempe town lake they did a dedication for 9/11, They put a flag up for everyone that died in 9/11. They do this every year. It was amazing to go and see this. We also took a few pictures so you can see what we saw.
Casey actually took most of these he did a really good job.

On Every flag there was a person and description of their life. It was so hard to read some of them and think about the families that had one of their family members taken from them from such a selfish cause. I hope we can always remember this even though time is passing and to keep praying for those families.

This is what it looked like right when you walked in. It was very overwhelming to see how many people were affected by this.

Some of them just had roses underneath them.

The ones with the teddy bears under them were all the children that died.

The ones with the yellow ribbons on them were fire fighters that lost their lives trying to save others.

This is what the little notes looked like that had each persons name and something about them.

A few years ago I had the opportunity to go and see ground zero. I was in NY for the day and decided to swing by. It had been a few years and the min that I saw everything I started tearing up. You can just feel the emptiness there. Also the bravery that people had to try and save as many as they could.

  1. This Healing Field is so amazing. It's admirable that you guys stopped by to pay your respects. I wish I could have been there! And Casey got some stunning pictures that really show the emotion of the day. It's still so shocking to me how many people lost their lives -- and so many of them trying to save others' lives.

  4. I love the pix of the healing field. It sounds weird but I love that Olivia's birthday is on 9/11. It reminds me that God still gives us amazing gifts even after horrible things happen.
