I woke up this morning, just like every I was sick so I went to the doctor's office and filled out paper work, on even realizing what day it was, not remembering. I was not until late this evening when watching the discovery channel that I realized. Today is the 9th anniversary of the day that changed American history. Today is the anniversary of the deaths of thousands of people. The most severe terrorist attack since Pearl Harbor, it debatidly even surpassed that.
Is it wrong that I did not remember? Dose it make me a bad person? Is it wrong for us to move on, dose it discredit the victims? Today raises those and so many other questions; should we forgive the ones who hurt and killed all those people, does that dishonor their memories. Should we be mad, I know I am. Can we even forgive? I don't have the answer. We each must decide for our selves.
Right now, I'm watching this program of videos people shot the day of, as it happened. It's very emotional and there is no way to completely describe how it feels to watch it. I'm shaking right now as I type this. There is this video of fire fighters all from one station, 288, that was the last time any of those men were ever caught on film; not one of them made it out of there alive. It's tragic. How could someone ever do this on purpose??? It makes no sense to me. What drives people to commit something so horrendous? I don't think I can watch anymore, not about this poor pregnant woman who worked on the 98th floor of the world trade center.
Our job is to remember, though some of may have to forget to even move on. We remember. We will always remember.
Goodnight,

So deep! Yet true. I regret that I couldn't say anything on Patriot's Day, but you just about summed it up for me.
