Nine Years Ago...
It's hard to believe that it's already been almost a decade since 9/11. Nine years... It wasn't even the first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning. And my activities for the day had nothing to do with it. It was a Saturday, simply that.
Not to say that I haven't been thinking about it, but time does ease alot...
However, just a little while ago, Mom and I were watching TV and this special came on the History channel: "102 Minutes that Changed America". It completely documented the 9/11 attacks as they happened. We didn't finish it but I still recommend it. They did a great job. I even began dictating what happened to Erro on the im. (Who may have been laughing at me, I'm not sure. Erro is so good at humoring me. ^^") However, that special... God, it brought a flood of memories back. I mean, it has been nine years. Nine years.... And just watching that footage all over again- hearing the broadcast, watching as it happened- it brought everything back. All this time later and I can still recall what it felt like to watch this happen for real. To go from thinking it was a tragic plane crash to the cold realization that it was a terrorist attack... I got goosebumps. It made it real all over again. Which was good, I think. Tragedies in history should remain tragic. Of course, we should learn from them and learn to live on, but things should be remembered. If we had all this technology back in the 1940s when Pearl Harbor happened, would we be able to feel that impact more? I wonder.
Anyway, as always-
In Remembrance...
