I am sure all of us can remember exactly where we were when the landscape of our country changed on 9/11. The intensity of emotions. The paralyzing fear that our country would never survive. I remember the days and months following that horrendous act of terrorism....
I neglected to share my moving day experience because, well, it is a tad embarrassing. For a over a month, I had movers scheduled to swap items from my mother's home to mine. Don't you love when they give you a window of arrival that keeps you hostage for the day?...
