Remembering 9/11 - 2001

There was much going on today in memory of that dreadful day. Do you remember what you were doing that day. I can remember getting the kids up for school, Dusty and Brax, and having the radio on the speaker system in our home. It was our wake up alarm that would go off through out the whole house. They were talking about a plane hitting one of the World Trade Center Towers and wonder if it was an accident. I turned the TV on to see if there was anything on the news channel. And there it was as I witnessed the plane going into the second tower. How bazaar, this couldn't be real. Doug was up on the mountain so I had no one really to watch it with as the boys headed to school. I remember being glued to the TV for days.

We have had the opportunity to go to Ground Zero several times while here in New York. It is so hard to comprehend that there was really two of the worlds tallest buildings at the spot in earlier days. It is a very touching scene. We toured the museum that is right across the street from the place. It brings to life the tragic day and dark period that followed. A must to see and experience when touring the city. So many lost their lives in the terrific terrorist's act.

We never know when our time is up. May we live each day to the fullest and do our very best to always express love to loved ones and be an example of what the Lord would have us be. We love you all.

Sister Ellett!

I asked Ben(Elder Jessen)in a letter if he had ever gotten his suit mended. He said that you did it! Thanks for being a mom away from home. He said he will really miss you when he ever gets transferred. Thanks for all you do for the missionaries, especially Ben!
