9/11
I can't believe tht four years ago today I was in fifth grade learning my new spelling words and then...
I can remeber my teacher was talking to us in a shaky voice about the spelling test...then she fell to her knees and cried hystarically. She told us what had happened. Even now I don't quite now how to react.
I didn't know anyone who died on any of the four flights, or anyone who died on the ground where they hit. And yet every time I think about it I cry.
Why? The timeless question that I have been asking myself (and a few select others) for the last four years.
Even now its hard to believe that its real.
I think about what I will tell my children on this day in the future. I know they will ask, just as we have asked our parents and grandparents about wars in the past. I wonder what I will say to them. If I will tell them about seeing grown men crying, and watching the horrific event over and over for days on the T.V.
I can't stand the thought of this war, and yet I can't stand the thought of anyone ever doing anything like this again.
Special Thanks:
To the 40 men and women on Flight 93. You are the hero's who saved the day. You are more couragous than the president himself. Thanks to you, millions of lives were spared.
