Re: Remembering 9/11
Since 9/11/01 I know think I can really relate to the way people say they'll never forget the day they heard Kennedy was shot. I still remember that Tuesday like it was last week.
I first heard the reports from a professor, but there weren't many details so I think I just assumed it was a small engine plane and a pilot mistake. Then I got back to my dorm room and saw the TV and knew it wasn't just some accident. I think I basically spent the next 2 days glued to CNN. It was just so bizarre that I couldn't even wrap my head around the whole thing (it's still that way).
This is something you'll probably never hear from me again on this site, but I can't think of anything else to say:
God bless those who were killed on the planes that day.
God bless the rescue workers who gave their lives and absolutely defined heroism.
God bless the workers who have given of themselves in the aftermath to help restore the country; especially those who are now really feeling the effects (lung problems, cancer, etc.)
And may God bless every single person affected by that horrible day.
