Life does indeed go on.
My husband, who was out of work at the time, and I were home and the TV was tuned to a cable news network.
We watched the horrifying events unfold from the safety of our suburban home in our quiet neighborhood. And it was such a picture-perfect, sunny September morning.
I can’t imagine being in NYC that day.
On this Sept. 11, five years later, my son and I attended a prayer service at our church. In addition to us, it was attended by our pastor, Donna, and three people who attend local Catholic churches. They expressed disappointment that their churches were not marking the day, and gratitude that ours was.
Thankfully our pastor opened the doors to our church that evening.
Some may think of Sept. 11 as a day to show patriotism. But as our pastor said, and I tend to agree, it’s a day to remember and to reflect.
The six of us sat together for a brief while, prayed and talked about our feelings.
We left, glad that we had attended and hoping that next year a few more souls would be joining us.

I know how I felt, how scary the whole chain of events was for me and I'm no where near New York, nor did I know anyone at the time that was in New York.<br/><br/>As Americans, we were all effected by what happened, it has touched all our lives, but I can't begin to imagine how I would feel had it effected me in the sense that I saw it first hand or lost anyone close to me. The thought is terrifying. <br/><br/>Great post, and great outlook on the situation. Happy Anniversary also. I can’t even begin to imagine.

As Americans, we were all effected by what happened, it has touched all our lives, but I can’t begin to imagine how I would feel had it effected me in the sense that I saw it first hand or lost anyone close to me. The thought is terrifying.

Great post, and great outlook on the situation. Happy Anniversary also.
