Remembering…
9.11.2001
Today, I spend it remembering the events that took place 1 year ago. It tears my heart to see family and friends grieving once again for their lost loved ones. In our hotel, the fire alarm went off then we had a moment of silence at the time the first plane hit. Later today, there will be a ceremony of rememberance in the Olympic Park. We are all trying to go about our lives in normal fashion, yet all are wary of what could happen. I kept hearing of the airlines giving away free flights for today and thought, you can’t live in fear or worry of what could happen, but now that today is here, I know now that I would be wary of flying. I feel wary as it is being in the center of a large city.
Why anything would happen today, since the “bad guys” now we are all on alert, I don’t know. But I guess just knowing what today is makes it somewhat eerie. I will be glad when today is over and I can go home tomorrow. I will be very glad to see my husband and be in his arms again. I couldn’t even imagine what it must be like to know you’ll never see, hear or feel that person ever again. It must be so heart-wrenching, I don’t know how I would get past it. I pray that those living it can do a better job at dealing with it, than I ever could.
My heart goes out to everyone who lost a loved one on that fateful day one year ago.
