Before 2001…

… I only had good thoughts of this day, September 11. Happy Birthdays to Harry Connick Jr and Shane.

Now, after 2001, I also have thoughts of sorrow. I remember that day. I found out online. I turned on CNN and witnessed such a horror. But later I got ready for work. When I got there, things were out of place, the courts were coming back. I only stayed an hour, then left. And it was back home, tv on. And so many tears…

I don’t like those memories. But I do my duty and remember. In my way, I honor those who died that day.

I keep living.

I smile up into the sunshine, I laugh at the wonders of the world… I cry in sorrow, rage in anger… I listen to the silence…
