I remember, like you, how quiet it was in the days following 9/11/01 when air travel was suspended. I also remember how horrified I was for a long time once planes started flying overhead again.

I'd call it a reaction from the heart and soul of a human being, a natural response from the essence of the self that without thought acts for the protection of others.

I will never forget what I saw on that day either, it was surreal.

I did not turn on the TV to hear the recaps. I wanted to relive it through real people's stories, not the media's. It has become a thread in our American tapestry.

Just for myself. I'm not an American, but I do remember that today is the day, I do remember being at work, listening to the radio, when the urgent interruptions came on, and then again, and again. I do feel for and think of all Americans on this day, knowing that any major city in the world could suffer the same atrocity.joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545344280343271652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-348829223107301446.post-77424553553234081042009-09-11T13:19:44.951-04:002009-09-11T13:19:44.951-04:00I think we all remember that day.

I went home after and switched on the TV. I couldn't switch it off, vigil by TV.
