Awesome post. It IS something that we’ll all remember forever. Sadly. But we need to always remember.

Going to try to comment again. This is beautiful. And so very true. Meg was just 8 months old then, and I was so happy not to have to explain. I'm still not sure I can explain. Keep dancing. Kristins last blog post..Free time. Now what?

It’s still haunting even seven years later. I’ve been in a funk all day, and I’m sure the reason is because it’s the eleventh.

My daughter was almost 7 when it happened. And it was so hard to explain to her. She didn't understand, couldn't comprehend. For weeks she thought that someone was going to drive a plane into our house. It was so terribly sad. Loris last blog post..Random Thoughts Wednesday edition

I lived close to the airport too. I remember thinking it was so strange not hearing or seeing a plane. We were all called and told not to go into our offices, so my husband and I sat and watched TV all day, just praying for the people lost. I still to this day can't believe I watched it happen on TV, in real time. I don't think I'll ever forget. Issas last blog post..2,996 project: Thomas J. Kennedy

I clearly remember that fateful morning but, at the time, I never realized the impact it would have on our country. I was getting ready to go to work and I remember Matt Lauer saying that a plane hit the World Trade Center. I thought, 'Hmmm that pilot must have been asleep at the wheel because you can't miss something that enormous!' Little did I know. When the next plane hit, I knew something far more serious was happening. I was still teaching school at the time and another teacher called me and I remember asking her, "Is our country under siege?" Of course all the teachers at my school were at work extra early that morning and our principal hastily called a meeting to tell us NOT to put the televisions on in our rooms while our students were in the classrooms. Can you imagine not knowing what was happening most of the day? Needless to say, it was very somber at school. Thank you for your post and tribute to that fateful day.

One more thing. 9/11 is me and my wife's anniversary for 'being exclusive'. That happened in 1999. daddy dans last blog post..Cool Toddler Gifts - Babito’s Birthday Presents
