2 years.... in the morning, we had two "moments of silences" at the times the towers were hit. In the second one, Judy had been in a closet gettin' some stuff and she let out a damn loud sneeze which humored us a lil'. Just some happiness away from the sad stuff I guess. Millie's 17th birthday is today also.
Edit: It is 9:10 pm EST and I just looked out and they turned on the Towers of Light. I can see it from where I stand in my house.
As it's been two years that passed, I would never, not once in my life, see the Twin Towers standing in front of me as I walk to school. I would never see, how beautiful they look, how authorative they are to the smaller buildings near them. They would never see what has happened in the world all the 33 years they've been standing. Debris and smoke has gone but the memory lingers on. It sounds cheesy, but yes.
