I am a new reader to your blog and I absolutely love it!

This is one of the best essays I’ve ever read on 9/11. It literally brought tears to my eyes.

We will never forget that horrific and world-changing day.

I was sitting on the couch watching TV and waiting for carpet cleaners to come. Ryan was 6 months old and we were just hanging out together in the living room. I was watching the news when the first plane hit. I knew something was wrong and called Greg who was active duty Air Force at his office. I told him something was going wrong and he better get to a TV...I watched as the second plane hit. I watched all day long. I watched all night long. I watched the whole next day. I just remember sitting on my plaid couch holding my baby so close and worrying about where my husband would be sent. When I think of it now my heart just stops.

It is one of those moments that we all remember exactly where we were and what we were doing. All of us. JCKs last blog post..A world in which we can look at each other and see the good

I think we all remember that day, and we always will. It is so hard even now to think about how our world changed forever in a matter of minutes. I, like you, can’t think about it with out getting tears in my eyes. I can’t speak of the past, but for our generation, this was the worst day in our lives…it was never the same after 9/11.

Thank goodness we have so many wonderful police, fire, security, etc., and that another attack hasn’t happened in 7years. I hope we, and my children, never have to experience another day like that-ever.

Beautiful post Meghan…I had a very had time today talking with my oldest about it and trying to correct what he was told at school today. Like it was yesterday I remember sitting at home since I had surgery the day before watching it all unfold. Sitting on my bed with two phone for the two separate landlines and two cell phones frantically trying to find out if my friends and family that were very close to the towers and/or NYPD and NYFD. I remember driving to get my oldest from daycare because it was closing early and driving there and the eerie silence of no planes overhead. (We were in the landing path of Dulles airport)

I think for me the worst was a month later driving up to see family and looking out the car window as we crossed the bridge into the city and seeing the smoke still rising and trying to explain it all to a 4 year old…even now I start tearing up just thinking about it. I kept the TV and radio off all day today.

Beautiful post Meghan, I just didn’t have the words for today. There are some images from that day that will never leave me, they come to mind whenever it’s mentioned and bring tears to my eyes. I’ll never forget.

We walked by Ground Zero last summer, not to go there, to get somewhere, I didn’t even know we were walking past it and then Jamie pointed it out and it made me sick. it just made me so so sad to be right there…..

I was driving to work, and heard it on the radio. We didn’t have a TV at work, so we just listened in all day. For a long time I felt badly that I didn’t cry, but I came to realize that I was in complete shock. Shock and disbelief.

I still can’t watch the coverage – I didn’t see it that day, and I don’t want to. I avoid the TV on the anniversary of 9/11, and I know that’s the punk-ass wussy way to go. But the still images are burned in my head forever, I don’t need the video footage in there, too.

Shane and I had just moved to St. Louis. I was working my new job and will never forget where I was the exact moment I found out. What a terrible time it was for our nation. Before it happend we had never been to NYC, but we did make it up there a couple of years later for a friend’s wedding. I will never forget going to “Ground Zero” – there was SO much sadness. I could feel the sorrow and pain everywhere. It was so sureal…..
