I remember that day as a day of shock. Watching as millions on TV as the second plane hit the second tower, unbelievable this could be happening in the United States, my home.
Hearing over the local Cleveland TV channel how they lost a plane on radar, to later find out that is the plane that crashed in PA.
The one thing I remember soon after the attacks is the bombers as I call them taking off from a so called closed arsenal near where I lived (Northeast Ohio) in formation so low to my house, that it shook, many planes then the total lack of sound in the sky, no planes not even birds, it was a eerie silence of what had just happened. The wondering if my friends that worked at the Pentagon where alive or not or their family members, the waiting. Being glued to the TV waiting for the latest update, the wondering the total shock.
To me the world took a drastic change from that day forward on how we live and what was taken for granted. My thoughts and prayers go to all that are/where effected by this tragedy and continue to fight for my safety and freedom.
It was definitely a turning point for me and my
life...when my asshole ex asked why I was glued
to the tv...it was stupid to be showing that
shit all day and why the hell hadnt I went to
the school and got the kids out for the day....
and why didnt I have his coffee waiting for him
when he finally decided to drag his ass out of bed....
"Well asshole....first off...the school was in
lockdown because of the "stupid" shit you are
watching on tv...and that plane that crashed in
PA was NOT far from us at all...and I could NOT
be lucky enough to have it crash on your damn
car on your way to work.......and make your own
damn coffee!"
YEP..it was time for me to make some drastic
changes in my life...before it was too late...
9 months later I told him to fuck off and die...
I was going to live my life of freedom without
him.......and here I am...so much happier...I
am free!
I think that day was a turning point for many...
a day to realize we cannot take our freedom for
granted...and we need to enjoy life while we can
because you never know what tomorrow will bring...
I look at my photos from my trip to New York..and
I still cannot picture that skyline without the
towers there....the wonderful view from on top
of those towers...was breathtaking....I have
always wanted to go back again...to show my lil
men that view from way up in the sky....but now I
dont know if I could ever go back....without tears....
*de-stickies the thread*... ooops... LOL.
i was married at that time myself, mrs. gator... haha, and i basically told my hubby the same thing you just said... it's wild, isn't it... the way a few years can change everything.... s*
Another year... and i'm no less shocked by those pictures than i was the first time i saw them... [img]frown.gif[/img]

I watched the news this morning as they talked about this tradgedy, and it made me sad, but When I opened your board and heard that beautiful song, the tears started flowing freely. As I read the words of my friends, about how this has affected them, it becomes more of a reality than watching people talk about it on TV.

For those who waited too long to see this beautiful tribute that Miz RA put up for the anniversary of this terrorist attack upon America, I offer you this screen capture.

in a sense! I know the horribleness of that day
but I still gauge my steps in my life starting
9/11/01....
it was 4 months and 14 days after 9/11 that I
lost 4 members of my family....a cousin that was
more like a brother to me growing up that I was
not allowed to talk to....murdered along with his
wife and 2 daughters....by his own son....that
was the second day of the rest of my life....
Those 2 events within 4 1/2 months were alot to
deal with....and both effect my equally...
I couldn't watch the news today....I didnt even
bother looking at the news online today....not
that I want to forget....but I would have been a
sobbing mess all day....because 9/11 reminds me
what I missed in my life by losing Mark 4 1/2
months later....
Even though it has been 6 years....it still effects
me the same today......I just want to hear my
momma and daddys voice on the phone right now...
just like I did 9/11....I called them even though
I was not "allowed" too....just to tell them I
love them because I never said it enough...
but they are on vacation and I have no number to
reach them right now....
As I type I am sitting here with tears running
down my face.......will it ever get easier?
Maybe never if you really value freedom....it
sure has not gotten any easier for me!
I don't think it ever gets easier and it impacts me more now since I am a military wife. I am constantly afraid that one of those letters from the military is going to be deployment orders and they will hold him to being deployed. I always said if he goes...I go. It never gets easier. It is still a fresh memory of what happened. I'll never forget and I'll never surrender. I'll always remember those who lost their lives and the ones who continue to fight for our freedom.
