Hello everyone,
It seems almost disrespectful to let this day go by without acknowledging it. But still, just like 10 years ago, there are no words I can say that could adequately express the pain I felt, much less that of other people. One of my favs wrote an entry and pointed out how there are no winners here and I couldn’t agree more. We are all just victims by varying degrees.
I will say this much, no one has the right to tell other people how long to grieve, how much time to spend remembering or when it’s time to move on. I’ve read several things today that sort of pissed me off but out of respect I’m not going to dwell on it or elaborate on it.
God bless our beautiful country.
Grief follows it’s own course and has no time table. Grief is a very personal journey. My mother died over 40 years ago and I still grieve her loss. Remembering with you on this day of sadness. Thank you for this entry.

Very nice. It is hard to know what to say. I thought about writing my very long patriotic entries. I think having a day of silence and private contemplation is best for me. Hugs!!

I don’t think there IS ever an end to grief. It is only when grief morphs into bitterness that I think it is misdirected and becomes something other than grief. I told Rich that it has almost felt like people have been somewhat “holding their breath” and waiting for this ten year mark since the initial shock wore off back in 2001. Maybe now that we have got to this point the real healing can begin.

I watched a news broadcast on the children of 9/11. My heart broke to hear these children talk about how it changed their lives. It changed so many of us in the way we thought about things and what became more important or not so important. These children and their families will never get beyond that day but hopefully the commemoration of that terrible day in history will enable healing to begin.
