Time-warp to a few years ago..

This was originally posted by me in my other journal on 9/11's first anniversary.

Hundreds of posts, thousands of speeches, millions of tears.

May your shoulders be lightened this day.

I did not cry on September 11th, 2001, nor have I on any subsequent anniversaries specifically for the reason you stated above: I would not know how, and even if I did, it wouldn't be enough. I often find the human ability to express emotions to be frustratin, especially in a case like this. How unworthy a few tears would seem, even if I never dried my eyes. The mere idea that we can truly mourn our loss, be it with moments of silence or greatly attended memorials, is blasphemous. We will never even comprehend what occured that day let alone make up for it some how. And that is probably the worst part of it all, that we can do nothing. Humans are inventive creatures, we like to fix things, to make them better. But there is no invention that will fix this, for as advanced as we are, no on have ever found the cure for a broken heart ( ... )

Kat, remember when it happened? We were in Senora Godbout's classroom, and Ms. Bergeron told us to turn on the television. We did. We saw Peter Jennings, I think, telling us the towers had been hit. Classes changed and we went into English class, thinking there'd been some terrible accident, when Ms. Bergeron ran in again and said "turn on the radio". The minute it switched on it said "a plane has hit the Pentagon in Washington DC" and every head in the classroom turned to me. My Dad was working there and everyone knew it ( ... )

It really doesn't seem all that long ago. I remember not really being clear on what was going on. I just remember seeing the video footage over and over and hoping that those i knew were okay. Every aniversary i watch the specials on televesion and can't help but put myself inside of the building. Would i jump? Or would i find an escape route? Would i sit and pray? Or would i yell for help as I spent my time helping others. Sepetember 11 helps me to realize even more so how important it is to breathe in every second of life, breathe slowly and try not to miss a second of time. Every day of my life is important.

Harry Martin, i am sorry for your loss, i love you.
