With all that is going on in the world today, I just had to share this story with you. On September 22, my daughter, Kelsey, age six, was outside drawing with chalk in our driveway like she does so often. When she was done she came running in the house and asked me to come see what she drew. Of course, seeing the drawing for the first time, I immediately thought of the Twin Towers, but I didn’t want to mention that to my daughter since I am sure little ears hear more than they need to about that subject. I simply said, "What a beautiful town you drew, I love it." To which she replied, "it is not a town, it is a city and look I put the Twin Towers right back where they belong."

With that, I had to run and get my camera and capture the moment forever. Children are our greatest asset and our reason to believe. Never underestimate the power of a child.
