Reflection...

[daryle]

Tonight I watched the 9/11 Documentary on CBS, and I did a lot of thinking. September 11 is one of the few things in my life that absolutely hurt, and will for a long time. It is the one day that I remember exactly where I was, what I was doing and how unsure I felt. & I know I wasn't the only one feeling uncertain about the future. September 11 of every year following 2001 has always been a very quiet day in my life. From the outside things go on normally, but my brain is constantly remembering the events of that horrible day. And this year, I really cannot believe that it has been 5 years. It honestly feels like it was yesterday, and I don't even live in the city. I can't even imagine the stress the survivors must feel to this day, and the families that have lost loved ones as well. I remember last summer going into the city with Isaac and Jenny, and construction being done on the 1 train. So we had to take the bus. & the bus went right past Ground Zero. & I remember not being able to breathe because it was the first time I had seen where the Towers used to be. It is the day that changed the life of a nation. I think that the documentary CBS aired tonight is the one of the few I've seen that has completely reflected that sentiment.

Interesting that this song is playing as I write this.
