Dear Rachael

Dear Rachael,

I'm so sorry for what I've done before and ... I know that you would never come back and we're lost forever.

With due regret, I hope you all the best with all my heart.

Memories of 9-11 in an Oceangram

9-11-01

Where were you when the world stopped turning, that September day? Please remember those who lost their lives in this tragedy.

in memory of those who were lost

They will love on in the hearts and memories of their loved ones

I was in the hospital and will never forget the feelings as I watched in horror. (Arizona) 9/16/06

---
My husband was at the Pentagon, I was in tears
---
I was getting ready for work, a friend called and told me to turn on the TV, I sat in front of it like a child and cried.
---
I was getting ready for work also. It was a horrible tragedy that those who did it have not payed for their crimes.
---
i was only 5 years old then and i had no idea why everyone was so sad... now i'm 10 and i know that tragic loss... many lives lost... paying tribute everyday i wake up i always think of the people who suffered(not just the people that were there) their families and friends and lovers. I just wish we could go back and start over again and makeit so that no one got killed then but you see it's a pathetic child's wishes they'll never come true....
love yall'

It's Sunday in NC. I sat out on the deck with the dogs until the mosquitos found me. It felt really good out there with the deck mostly in shade but the sunshine on my feet. I could hear the breeze rustling the oak tree leaves. Birds and squirrels were busy. I saw some butterflies go by, flying higher than I realized they would go. I was laying on a towel on the deck, which confused the dogs. They both came over periodically to see if what I was eating was still fruit, and to snuffle me.

Cruel, rude mosquitos.

I could be mistaken, but you may not need a Latvian dictionary here, unless Latvian is shockingly similar to English

---
Rough translation: Today I had the first kiss of my life and I am 10 years old and I love the world, the sea, and things. When my father wakes me and says to me "Good morning, my princess" he looks at me and says, "I wish your mother could see her clone eyes". And I just smile because I don't know what "clone" means, hehehe. I love the world and that's it. Let's take care of it like my father takes care of me.

¡Que Bueno!

God Bless you
