It's just still too raw for me. I'm a native NYer now living in Australia and I have memories of my Dad taking us kids down to the WTC site as the towers were being built. My Australian husband and I visited the WTC in Sept 2000. I keep thinking one year earlier and it could have been us.McKennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685245144903515168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-44292602926758718552011-09-13T03:11:03.998-07:002011-09-13T03:11:03.998-07:00Terry,

It's a commemoration - a "lest we forget" moment for the media.<br /><br />We knew 37 people who died that day. Poof - they were gone and we can hardly believe it, even now. We know many more who were in the buildings but made it out safely. They don't need reminders. They live with it every day.<br /><br /><br />I understand the need to remember and to mark the day. I thought the best tribute was the way Paul Simon sang "The Sounds of Silence." That about summed it up for me.Diane Nnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-28556800834796784512011-09-12T06:55:16.699-07:002011-09-12T06:55:16.699-07:00I will never forget!

What pain was inflicted on the people closest?<br /><br />As I channel surfed to find something (non memorial) I saw the ghostly lights now shining up from ground zero into the sky. So very disturbing. Who on earth thought that was a good thing?????

A young woman who lost her Mom on that day had the best remark regarding this media blitz. She said that it was like having to bury her Mom again and again, year after year. Enough of that kind of pain. Mother's of children who lost Dads said that they just about got their children to sleep without nightmares & then there it was again.<br />Quiet personal reflection and prayers are my way of remembering. I can't imagine that any of those lost would want their loved ones to suffer so repeatedly.deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495753587207547865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-5403810881511176642011-09-11T15:46:44.425-07:002011-09-11T15:46:44.425-07:00I will never forget, never ever.

Certainly if the events of the day had taught us some great lesson, we could keep this date, but I can't for the life of me think what that lesson would be.<br />The image I remember so vividly was the shot at the end of day of hundreds of New Yorkers, covered in dust, trudging silently over the bridge to find their ways to their homes and loved ones.Becknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-85525407619023827362011-09-11T12:55:49.187-07:002011-09-11T12:55:49.187-07:00Thanks for your blog posts, in general, and this o...Thanks for your blog posts, in general, and this one in particular. I am also avoiding all the TV "specials". It seems the media wants to manipulate our feelings, and they seem to get some perverse enjoyment out of "reminding" us of how awful it all was. As you said, I need no reminders, and no hyperbole either. <br /><br />Went to church and we had lessons [ assigned in the three year lectionary] which focused on Forgiveness and mercy. That seemed appropriate to me.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208479319934460737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-87254208596470746762011-09-11T11:15:59.620-07:002011-09-11T11:15:59.620-07:00Happy blogoversary and thank you for being an insp...Happy blogoversary and thank you for being an inspiration over the past six years. I have been wondering if we had responded as a nation like we did after Pearl Harbor, would we feel differently? I too, will pass on the memorials, specials, etc. I don't need to relive that day nor have I forgotten. Thank you for being a sane, beacon of happiness and creativity.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367949314724875797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-61558997611121157342011-09-11T07:26:41.408-07:002011-09-11T07:26:41.408-07:00Hello Terry,

I have no trouble remembering and as you have said... I do not need to watch it over again...It is etched in my mind and my heart forever.<br />On a happier note to-day is a 57th wedding anniversary for me and my dear husband. Hard to believe so much time has passed. We feel fortunate that we have had such a wonderful life to-gether. To-day we will celebrate that .<br />xoxo<br />((((hugs))))<br />MaggieMaggie Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15132408292961027118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-81978502001470003522011-09-11T06:17:24.179-07:002011-09-11T06:17:24.179-07:00No, I will never forget.

How can people forget the concentrations camps, atomic bombs, assassinations and terrorists' attacks? I can't, but I choose to not dwell on the bad, but rather choose to celebrate good. So I congratulate you on your blog anniversary. Your blog is wonderful and I love it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-50978313186316994242011-09-11T01:25:44.209-07:002011-09-11T01:25:44.209-07:00I won't forget it.

What I find interesting is that one would think that not forgetting might go hand in hand with some major change, but I don't think it has. Ten years later, we are on the same trajectory.Kristin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955546754675680404noreply@blogger.com
