We are the Stuarts (formerly of Imperial) now residing in Okinawa, Japan.

This blog started from a desire to bridge the miles as we were preparing to leave the USA for 3+ years. It has turned into much more. It's part travel diary, part personal reflection, part "sociology of military life" and part mommy-blog. We hope you read something here that is interesting to you (or at least not a total waste of your time).

We Will Never Forget




November 11, 2001

It's hard to believe that this was nine years ago. I can't think about September 11th, without some degree of PTSD flashbacks. It was such an awful, awful time that was nearly my undoing. Since it was only the beginning of years of turmoil for our family, I'm grateful I was able to pull myself out of the hopeless, depressed state I was in, and live life again. (It's been too good to miss!)

We will once again be observing via the Internet (since it is still September 10th in the USA). Most of you have already read this, I'm sure...but if you haven't and care to know what we were doing on 9/11/01...please check it out.

Never forget...but don't stop living, either. God Bless America!
