Hello everyone,
Just a thread for anyone who wants to share memories of 9/11/2001.
I was working in lower Manhattan that day. After we heard the first bang
we were all gathered round the TV. Everyone was paralyzed, struck dumb.
When the second tower was hit, my boss said: "My wife was on the 75th
floor". He started crying softly. It was incomprehension, not anger at
that moment. No one could speak. When I made it home that day to my wife
and boy in Somerville, NJ, we just hugged each other and cried. The cell
phones had been down all day so they had no idea if I was alive or dead.
I remember thinking: "Everything is changed now. For my boy growing up,
the sense of security we took for granted won't exist any more".
Thinking about how Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rove have screwed
everything up since that day just makes the memory even more painful.
There is no god, but still: God Bless America and God Bless President
Obama.
Sincerely,
Jimmy
