NMR: Remembering 9/11

E&RMommy

I can't stop watching TV and crying.  I stayed up until 2 AM watching a Flight 93 movie.  Being a parent now just makes it that much harder to think about what a loss was suffered by so many.

Here's to those who lost their lives 10 years ago today.  May we never forget them.

I had to turn off the coverage pretty quickly, and then yesterday felt like I should watch more, and couldn't watch more than a few minutes. That was such an intensely emotional day, I remember it just fine already, and I really hope that doesn't seem disrespectful to people who were more affected by it than I was. I agree it's hard as a parent. I can't imagine raising my kids in a country where car bombings, shootings etc. happen all the time. I can't imagine how they get over the fear and let their children experience the world around them.

I have no problems thinking about it, think it's sad but I don't really struggle with it much.

I LOST it in church today.  That had a special service dedicated to first responders and when the bag pipes (surprised the heck out of me that they had bag pipes) started playing "Amazing Grace" I started bawling.  I couldn't believe how sad it made me because I figured after 10 years I'd gotten all of the emotional reactions out of me.

I couldn't stop crying when our church did a presentation about it this morning, too.

Never forgotten.

It is still so hard to fully digest.  I will never wrap my mind around it completely.
