9/11

R.I.P. I'll remember.

I know.I was getting confused myself. they say 9/11 here to.

all this week they been talking about it on the morning show.

Many of the papers have been running articles about local people lost that day. The Today Show has been featuring stories too. It's definitely a day I won't forget. I was glued to the TV for a week.

This is the most powerful 9/11 video I have seen. 10 years later, this event in history still seems almost unfathomable to me.

This was on Facebook.

Will never forget what happen to that Wonderful country that day, Thoughts and Prayers are with the people who lost loved ones that day

What a terrible day that was ...

Aw, that is very touching.

My twin nieces' birthday was today. What a day to have a 'celebration', you know? I am amazed by all the beautiful tributes all across the country though, and hopefully across the world. It's unreal to think of 115 nations suffering loss from this tragedy.

I was posting this yesterday and when I was about to post it... I hit the wrong button and everything erased (doh!) lol
Anyway... here are some pics from yesterday's 9/11 Ceremony

The pain and hurt still lingers on....so sad.....Hoping that prayers and time will help them to heal....

I can't see those. They are too hard to swallow. I don't like to see people suffering. Hope these kind of things would NEVER happen again.

Those pictures brought tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat. I'm sure yesterday brought much closure to friends and families, but at the same time, resufaced up a lot of repressed emotion for a lot of people as well. I'm sure it was helpful for many, as part of the healing proccess. My second cousin died in the second tower. He was only 28, and had just started out in Manhattan, a great job at the World Trade Center, and a newlywed. I didn't know him....I'm the youngest of 48 grandchildren, so I have cousins and 2nd cousins all over the world I don't know. But I hurt for my aunt and uncle---I'm sure yesterday was very tough for them.

They mentioned that Station 10, the fire station that responded first, is right across the street from where the towers were at. They said while most people deal with the loss maybe one month a year (a few weeks before and a few weeks after 9/11) the men at Station 10 deal with it every day, as tourists and other people stop by there to talk to them and ask questions......they can NEVER get away from the memories, the pain, nor the loss of their co-workers and friends....How sad is that? Most people can get a break, they can't.

poor people.

There is an elderly couple that live in town here. Their son was killed that day. They interviewed them a day before 9/11/2011 asking them if they were going watch or take part in any ceremony or tribute going around town. The wife was the main one who spoke and said that they were not going to participate, that it was a time when they, he specially, would rather be alone and reflect. She said it's still too hard for him to watch all this stuff. They recently moved to a new house where they put a fountain in front as a tribute to their son. There is a plaque with his picture and the towers in the fountain.
