Remember
I was on my way home via train, actually, when I first heard about a plane crash in NYC. One of my best friends had called me, upset, saying that something terrible had happened at the WTC, but I was still bewildered. It was an hour after the first tower had collapsed before I got back to my apartment and found out what had happened. Funny how little details like this can stay with you two years later…You shouldn’t be here today. I didn’t lose a loved one on September 11, 2001. None of my relatives gave their [lives] in military service to their country in Afghanistan. I was just another shell shocked American watching from a safe distance wrapped in the comfort and safety of [her] home.
Some urge us to move on. Let the dead lie dead. Live.
I’ll live. I have classes to go to today, chores to do, errands to run, prayers to say, words to write, people to visit. Life will still go on. I’ll still breathe.
It doesn’t mean I’ll forget.
