We will never forget the tragedy that unfolded 10 years ago today. The lives that were lost. The lives that were changed forever. That fateful day brought our country together under the most tragic of circumstances. We never thought it could happen...not here.
Today is filled with ceremonies, documentaries, pictorials. I can't bring myself to watch video from that day, but am so touched reading the stories of communities in and around NY and DC that pulled together to support each other. The communities that lost countless souls. I can't help but feel for the children who never had the opportunity to meet their parents, who are now a part of history. The husbands and wives, parents and siblings that sent there loved ones on about their day, not knowing that that would be the last time they would see them alive. So many lives have been changed by that one day. Some for the better, I'm sure. Some are closer to their neighbors than ever before. So many for the worse. So many still suffer, a decade later. PTSD, anxiety, fear. Such sadness and despair.
Still: So angry. So sad. So strong. United we stand.
