September 11th



September 11, 2001   A day I shall never forget and so many of us will not.

But just think - 9/11/19 - kids are turning 18 years old.  Obviously they get to celebrate their birthday - dinner out, presents, cake.  Is there a shadow that looms?  What do they know of their birth date? Do they care?

What is taught in the schools?  Do we have any lessons learned? 

I just know that for me, the date brings a pause...a slight stutter step if I type the date at work.
If I watch a documentary of some sort or the news and the brief tributes on 9/11, I will cry.
I have not been to the National Memorial in NYC, but I understand it is quite well done and rather haunting.

September 11, 2001    There just really are no words

  4. Thank you, Joanne. "Stutter step" <-That's an appropriate phrase. It's all still such a shocking horror.

  5. People whose lives were stolen from them will never get to share their babies and families futures.

  6. Extremely horrific day...but must be remembered. For the innocents killed and for the lessons learnt. The world changed irrevocably on 9.11.2001.

  8. I didn't think anything could be more of a blow to America's heart than the assassinations of the Kennedys and MLK, but I was wrong.
