9-11-11

I saw a lot of where were you what were you doing sorts of post on social media today and parts of that day I recall vividly while parts seem to be a blur of tears, horror, fear for my brother serving in the navy, fear for family in the tri-state areas surely targets if something more was going to happen, fear for ourselves because perhaps Oak Ridge would be a target? What else was going to happen that day? Remember the goofy ass movie with Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen, um wolverines oh yeah Red Dawn....
We at some point reached news saturation that night or maybe it was the 12th but I remember David turning the television off and putting on some music as a distraction. The footage is just as disturbing today as it was 10 years ago and the body count of 2976 did not stop there for such a defining moment in this nation's history it still leaves so many unanswered questions

9/11

today has been a day like any other in my life lately, get kiddo up, breakfast,lunch, on the bus, go to class, work, back to school, grocery store, make dinner, start laundry...life goes on.
I was fortunate not to have lost anyone that day but if you are up for a good cry(and we all know I can tear up at the drop of a hat)head over to a beautiful letter /metrodad wrote to a friend he lost in the Twin Towers a mere 7 years ago.
