9/11

I am overwhelmed by the day but inspired by their spirits.

My thoughts are with all who lost.

  • Well said. Such a sad remembrance but the humanity and unity of the days,weeks and years following is so powerful. Lots of prayers going out to those who lost loved ones and for our country.

  • I cry every year when the start reading the names of those lost.  It struck me that most people were younger than I am.  Its so tragic and my heart breaks, especially the young children reading who mentioned their dads.  They were babies/toddlers when they experienced such loss.

    I think 9/11 is hard for all Americans, but I think its a little different for those of us in the NYC-DC corridor area b/c it was so close to home and most of us have a personal connection.  DH worked in broadcasting and was  in lower Manhattan filming (but thankfully not in the WTC) and watched the whole thing unfold.  I had a few friends from college that we couldn't locate for days (all worked in the WTC) and I never want to re-live the pit in my stomach as we were trying to figure out if they were alive (fortunately all were -- many had to walk into brooklyn with just the clothes on their back).

    TTC since April 2009 dx = PCOS; TTC History for DS - A FET miracle after 7 IUIs; 2 fresh transfers, and 1 other FET resulted in BFNs. Hoping and Praying for baby #2: Cycle 1 - FET; November 2012 BFN Next Steps - who knows? Lilypie Second Birthday tickers
  • They say God gives us trials & tribulations for a reason, and I am thankful for that, because I had a few aunts & and uncle who worked at WTC & for some reason they were not at work that day, my aunt was just diagnosed with cancer, my uncle was in a rehabilitation center, and my other aunt was home with my little cousin for her first day of school...I thank god that they had other reasons for not being at work that day, it was horrifying, being away in DC at college, I was on my way to work, I worked for Congress, and got the call they were evacuating, heard it on the radio, came back to the dorms and watched it all unfold on tv with all my college roomates.  It has forever bonded those that have experienced it together, no matter where/who you were with, you will forever remember that day.

    I could not get in touch with my parents & family who lived in NY, and from where my university was, you could smell the smoke from the pentagon. It was a horrible experience, and I can not imagine what life is like for those who lost loved ones that day.

    God Bless all of our heroes, all the lives lost, and all who lost loved ones that day.

    xoxo Noelle

  • It feels like it just happened. I can't believe so much time has passed. I still cringe seeing the footage. It's so hard to watch the tributes but it feels wrong to ignore this anniversary.

    He was from Nyack- which is a town down the road from me.  The priest talked about him in church today.  Amazing.

  • Same here.

    It was one of those days I will never forget.

    Thoughts and prayers are with those who were lost and those that are still fighting.

  • I watched the 9-11 documentaries all weekend, so unbelievable and sad and I agree that it has to be even more unbelievable and sad for the East Coasters, especially in NYC that witnessed such an event, tragic!
