9/11 Gloom

It is hard to fathom that a year has gone by. Even a year ago at this time I wasn't even certain if we would all be here. Even the fear of nuclear war crept through my mind. I have to admit I feel a little bit nervous for tommorow, but I am so thankful for all this precious time on earth I have been given. It will be hard to sleep tonite for all thoughts will be of those crying themself to sleep due to losing their loved one. I feel weak with flashbacks of sadness.

I am with you 66, and I feel the same!!

That was nice of you to post that and thank you! You touched my heart!!!

Love and Peace and Prayer for all those families!

Yes, I am nervous too about tomorrow. Hopefully with such a heightened sense of awareness, we will all be okay. I can't even believe we are having this conversation, you know? It just still seems very surreal that it even happened. Every time I see those planes it is like a nightmare. I hadn't seen the video(s) in a long time and then the last few days the news has been playing them a LOT more, and it all came back to me. It is very disturbing. I remember that morning my boyfriend called me and woke me up all frantic, and he was like, "terrorists hijacked some airplanes and they're crashing them into the world trade center and there might be more" and I was just so taken aback at first I got really mad because I was sure he was joking. I was like, "you'd better be serious because that isn't funny at all" and he told me to turn on the news, and it was like a horrible movie. Like a dream, I couldn't even react for a long time, I just kept turning channels and every single news anchor was practically in tears so then I knew it was bad. It still to this day shocks me when I really think about it.

Tomorrow I think I will light 3 candles, 1 for the people in the buildings and planes, 1 for the rescue workers who died trying to save them, and 1 for the surviving family members. And I will say a prayer for the whole entire country too. Ugh, this is upsetting.

Okay, well everyone, be strong, look how far we've come, look how we've become closer as a country. Have as peaceful a day as possible tomorrow. Everyone pray for our safety and recovery.

Good night.
