They won't. They'll see it as proof that the big A is around the corner. Just like on that day - they will be cold and callous about it.

Where were you?
by joannadandy in.
sorry if this has been done to death, i only did a quick scan and didn't see a topic like this, so i appologize in advance if this was started someplace else.. this morning i woke up and thought about where i was last year, and the complete shock i felt at this same time last year...and i was just wondering if any of you had those same feelings this morning.. so where were you?
i always find stories of what people were doing at the time they heard to be really interesting-please share if you'd like.

In memory of all those we lost
In memory of all those left behind to mourn
In memory of all the effort and good accomplished
In memory of the soldiers who went overseas
In memory of the families they left behind
In memory of the soldiers brought back to be buried
In memory of those wounded and maimed
In memory of those emotionally scarred
In memory of the old reality
In memory of that day.... one year ago... today.
Be safe. Remember that when people help people, the power of good grows.
Lest We Forget........

I had just gotten up, came downstairs to find my girls watching tv. I thought it was a movie and they told me it was the news - and to watch. The first tower had already been hit. I watched in horror as the second tower, the pentagon, flight 93.
Then news of all the diverted flights came and requests for homes and blood. We offered our home and made appointments to donate.
Then weeks of hoping for survivors that never came. I finally curled up in a ball and sobbed for hours.
Today, all my candles are lit with words for each group. As I turned on the tv, the names were being read at ground zero. It came back. I know I'm going to break again. Every name - a family - and friends. Such incredible loss.
I thought I would go out and do things today, but I'm with Lilacs. I will, with all the countries, join over the tv with my memories and grief. I wish I weren't alone. My girls are working. I will call mom and tell her I love her. And I will call my girls, and tell them how much I love them.
I will never forget. Love to all of you.

I had gotten out of bed, came downstairs to find my daughters watching the tv. At first I thought it was a movie. Then they told me it was the news, and to watch. The first tower had already been hit. I saw the second tower hit, then news of the Pentagon and then flight 93.
I was numb and like a deer caught in the headlights. (to use other poster's apt descriptions) Shock, anger, numbness. The three of us sat together on the couch, silent, and glued to the tv.
Then news of the flights being diverted here came. Requests for homes, blood. We called and put our home on the list and made appointments to donate blood.
Then the hope for survivors. Eventually I broke down, curled up and sobbed for hours.
I still shake my head. My heart still aches. And I'll never forget. It's too much to absorb. I'll be lighting candles tomorrow/today as well.

My reasons for living: my two daughters; my pets; my mom; learning, changing; making a difference that I hope lasts with the ripple effect. Also - being there for others who felt as I did growing up. I also look forward to being a grandmother.
there's lots of reasons really.

MORE BAD NEWS FOR ME......
by Mary inwell i went to the cancer clinic yesterday, where i was told not only do i have endometrial cancer, i also have a rare form of it called clear cell cancer.
apparently, it's a very aggressive cancer and has a tendancy to spread towards the lymph nodes.. i was absolutely stunned when then told me this one..........yep, i don't smoke, do drugs, i'm not a drunk and i don't screw around and yet i get cancer.. i really would like to try the gerson therapy clinic in california, but it's $4,900.00 us per week........so with the conversion from canadian dollars, it would be about $8,000/week and i'd need to be there for at least 3 weeks.
anyone have about $25,000 i can borrow?
