Remember

Thanks for posting this, Timber. Those images are very moving.

My thoughts go out to all Americans today.

Mine too...

Very emotional to watch.....

My heart goes out to all the victims and their families on this dark day.

The fanatics of 9/11 attacked all people, not only Americans.

This was an incredibly hard day, harder than I had thought it would be.

I am again working for the company where I worked on 9/11, wearing almost the exact same badge, doing almost the exact same thing, again working in a tall building.

And I remember my parents' neighbor. He died in the WTC. I remember how we didn't know where my cousin was for a few hours (she's fine). I remember how a friend of ours was 9 months pregnant and had to walk home to Brooklyn. I remember leaving my office at 11 AM or so, terrified that a building was going to fall on me any minute. I remember getting to South Station, where everyone was waiting for a cab. I remember directing people in cabs -- you going North? Here, take this other person with you. I remember getting home, turning on the TV and staring and staring. I remember RP getting home a few hours later (he had walked, as traffic was horrendous), and how we hugged. I remember crystal blue skies and feeling that they were horrible -- and today there is another crystal blue sky and it's making me nauseous. I remember having nightmares of planes and bodies skidding along the office corridors.

Oh yes, I remember.
