Auntie Gwen and Darcie's Gotcha Day

So many horrible and tragic and sad things happened on 9/11/2001.  Mom was in shock when she saw it happen on the TV that morning.  We give thanks to all of the troops who are still fighting and keeping us safe.  We are so sorry for the disasters that happened on that day and all of the following days and months.  Mom will never forget that day like everyone else.

On 9/11/2002, Auntie Gwen and mom went to Hillsville, VA. to get little Darcie.  That was a happy day for both of them.

On 9/11/2003, mom's husband, Wayne, passed away from melanoma after a brave fight with it for two years.  She misses him very much.  He loved Boxers and had one named Sam and also a big black dog named Zoe. 

That day is just etched in mom's mind forever. 

Happy Gotcha Day dear Darcie!

We love you!!!

Have a Great Day!
Lots of love to All!

When I was a kid, my parents talked about Pearl Harbor Day, just as we speak of Nine-Eleven.

We have to remember these things, and especially our forces that look out for us.

Cheers to you both,

Stella, Jo and Zkhat
