Osama Bin Laden is Dead

Sunday, May 1, 2011: Almost 10 years after 9/11

I was watching The Real Housewives of OC on Bravo TV and I checked my Twitter.  I saw the string of tweets: “Osama is Dead!” “Go USA!”  “Yes we did!”  I ran to turn on CNN and then I watched this:

I went upstairs to wake up Hubbie.  “Osama Bin Laden is dead.  He’s DEAD.”  We hugged.  The tears came.  That murderer almost ruined my wedding.  He killed innocent people.  I’m happy, but I still don’t know what to think.  I’m relieved, but I’m scared. Could there be another threat this week?  Next week?  Could something else big happen to our country?  I have to get on a plane to Washington, DC next month.  Should I worry?  All I know is I feel an overwhelming gratitude to our military men and women who know how to keep a promise.  They got him.   They really got him.
