The blogosphere, America there’s rarely something that can truly unite us. Today we remember. It’s a day we can all relate to. Put aside our judgments, and the past. We remember. The good, and the bad. United We Stand. Remember?
Where were you? When the towers fell..We can all relate.
On Sep 9th I was 16 year old. That day started like any other. I attempted to ditch school, that wasn’t happening. By noon I was on my way to the airport, headed for Oklahoma. A place I knew nothing about. I was born there you know. That day, it broke me. They place you in “quarantine” make sure you’re stable. After all I had just been taken away from the only home I’d ever known. All I had ever known was gone. And Amanda was gone too, yeah we can say that day broke me. I don’t think my spirit has quite recovered.
September 11th rolled around. My eyes were still swollen from nights up crying. I remember they had taken me to a group home late the night before, the first group home I had ever been in. I came downstairs at 6 am on that day, the news was on. I wasn’t really there. It’s like I sat and watched myself for those few weeks. We all sat and watched as the second tower fell. Live on t.v. it fell.
The days after were filled with terror. I think we all felt that. My terror was everything, combined I was broken. Maybe we all felt a little lost, maybe it wasn’t just me. Today we remember that day, as painful as it may seem.
We Remember and We Never Forget
About Kristin
Beautiful post.
I was working. TVs in the bar were on. It was eerie. Our normally loud, hustling, middle of the Boeing lunch rush restaurant came to a hushed stand still. We turned up the volume {not allowed to have volume on blah laws blah} and every single person in there just watched. Food began to pile up in the window but no one seemed to notice or care. Eventually people came out of their daze and continued either working or eating. But it was still quiet, very somber.
I know I’ll never forget. This day is a part of me now forever. Such horrible actions did not break our country, it brought us closer together.
Great post. Mine has the same title lol. I was pregnant with Parker and Leland came into the room and turned on the tv. I couldn’t believe it, and I was so scared. I worried what else would happen, if I would ever meet my unborn baby, or see my son grow up. I will never forget that day.
Wonderful post…we all do need to stand together and remember…
I was working in a doctor’s office. We all went to the waiting room to watch the television. We had very few patients that day, so we were glued to the tv. My husband (then friend and volunteer firefighter) lived two blocks from the WTC. He spent the next few months sifting through the remains, looing for life and then recovering anything he could. I cannot imagine what he went through.
I had just got to school and all the TV’s in the school were on the news channel and that’s all we watched all day, It was a very sad, quiet day with lots of tears.
It’s one morning I’ll never forget!
I was living at my grandparents house at the time, I had just gotten out of the shower and was listening to my radio. I was half listening to what they were saying and turned it off as I went downstairs to eat. I turned on the Tv and went to make my self a pancake. As I listened I realized that they were saying the same things that the radio said. I sat there and watched live as the first tower fell. I went upstairs to see if my grandparents were awake and they were already watching the coverage. I went to school and all of the teachers were freaking out. The only thing that we did was watch tv all day. I will never ever forget.
Ps. Wish I could have been there for you, in any way shape or form <3
Your story is sad too. I think all Americans can remember what we were doing that exact moment when we all knew what was happening. I live in OKC and I remember 9-11 and Murrah bombing just like it was yesterday. It’s all so surreal…..I will never forget either of those days.
None of us will ever forget where we were that day, great post…
I blogged….
I agree, I don’t think anyone will ever forget where theyw ere or what they were doing.
