While I didn't know anyone that died that terrible, awful day, my heart broke for all the people lost that day. That is just something that is not supposed to happen at home.
I felt helpless! As a nurse, I wanted to be there to help those people. I wanted that desperately. I am not by no means a trauma nurse but I could have helped in some way.
Then I got pissed!! I mean, our country is not perfect by no means but it is our country! Don't mess with us.
Well, one of our monsters is gone, but there will be more in his place. But, we can't be afraid to live. If we live in fear, then the monsters have won.
Alot of heroes were made that day. I am sure they don't see themselves as heroes. But they are heroes still the same. The military, firemen and policeman have my utmost respect. They do a job that they get paid precious little for but they still so up for work everyday so that the rest of us can rest easy.
So today, I did my remembering. I said a prayer for the fallen, survivors and families of both. I also said a prayer for our country. It is so sad that it takes a national tragedy to bring us together, but we can't get it together any other time.
Well, that's enough rambling for now! I apologize for being maudlin, but it's been a maudlin kind of day!
Where were you?
At home....saw it when it began. A real alive nightmare! It was and is, still hard to wrap a mind around.
ReplyDeleteGod BLess all the families who lost their loved ones. Praise to those who worked tirelessly to try and assist those in distress.
It's like the assassination of Kennedy...a day never to be forgotten.
It has been a SAD day of remembering indeed.
We all remember.....and certainly PRAY for better days.
