Today makes me extremely sad. It's like everything from that morning comes roaring back. I refuse to turn on the TV. I'm sorry, but I can't go through the hours of video again. Not this year. For once I'm glad to be working a loooonnng day.
Anyway -- let's all take a moment to remember all those we lost.
I wish it were older when it happened. I was only in 4th grade when it all went down. I watched some of the footage and I can't help feeling detached from it...
ReplyDeleteClay,
ReplyDeleteI remember watching everything happen, and phoning my sister to tell her about it. It didn't seem real at the time, but as soon as I tried to explain what was happening, I burst into tears -- almost hysterical with grief. It was just...overwhelming.
It's a weird thing. I don't necessarily like to think about that day...but I would be upset not to have gone through the experience. So yeah, I think I understand what you're saying.
