As everyone seems to be remembering the attacks of 9/11- especially people who live around the NY area - how many of us, what multitude of others who weren't anywhere near Manhattan and thankfully didn't lose someone in their family on that Tuesday morning are, nonetheless, having a difficult day today?
On that day, ten years ago, we all reached out for someone to help us through our fears and disbelief. We found ourselves comforting and also being comforted by loved ones - not understanding what had happened, not knowing what would come next.
On that day, ten years ago, we all reached out for someone to help us through our fears and disbelief. We found ourselves comforting and also being comforted by loved ones - not understanding what had happened, not knowing what would come next. Its been ten years. A decade. And it's true...we won't ever forget.
But for so many of us, remembering that day means feeling the emptiness of grief because that someone we talked to September 11, 2001...gripped hands with, watched tv with, held, cried with, reassured, leaned on...isn't here - has passed away. For so many of us, we have lost that one person we long to share this day's painful memories with.
Are these losses any less painful, any less real, than those suffered by 9/11 victims' families?
Never Forget, Always Remember...Every anniversary is difficult...not just because we are one of the unfortunate who lost someone to terrorists but because we remember so well where we were on that day and who we were with.
