I posted last year, I'll post it again. Simply for myself but this year I added a video/song that touches my soul.
I had just moved here. I wonder if that's why it is so stuck in memory. I saw something posted on FB saying that you can't remember what you did last Tuesday but I bet you remember what happened 10 years ago Tuesday. And I do.
I remember everything. I remember it was a beautiful sunny day. I remember saying bye to boyfriend and then rolling over to go back to sleep. I remember getting up a little before 9 to answer the phone and I remember Donald's words : "Are you okay?" "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
"Have you turned on the tv?" "No, should I?" "The towers were hit." "What towers?" "The WTC towers. The ones we just visited."
I turned on the tv and watched in horror. It was happening right outside. When Donald came home we walked up the block and watch through tears. All you could see was smoke, smoke and more smoke. The smell was horrid.
The days that past were grim. Very few people on the streets, the smell of decay and smoke.
This is one of my favorite songs and it's set to a video. Donald and I are going to take a walk and take some photos of the Freedom Tower next week.
What life is like with two very sweet little girls ..

It is true, you remember what you were doing that Tuesday 10 years ago. Its crazy....
I absolutely remember what I was doing on that day. It's so sad, but I think that event was our generation's version of the Kennedy assassination. I'll never forget that day.
