On September 14, 2001, I sat down at my desk with a heavy heart. My task: to write the month’s lead article for the newsletter I published at that time at OrganizedHome.Com.
But just three days after the collapse of the Twin Towers, it was impossible to think about cleaning closets or decluttering the pantry.
I started to write, anyway–and this piece was the result, two hours later. It was the cry of my heart as the mother of a United States Marine, a son who had been called to alert in response to the attacks on our country.
A reader suggested I share it here, on this day, to remind us all that Memorial Day has a meaning beyond the barbeques and the beach.
Here it is, right down to the old-style format of our site on that day. Enjoy–and remember:
