winkgirl4's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Seven years and several hours ago, I sat and watched four planes and three buildings fall. I, then, like many others around me, muddled my way through a work day in a state of absolute dis-belief. I finished that day at the sides of family members- trying to help each other make sense of what had happened. Moreover, I tried to offer "sense" to a little, five-year-old boy who had more questions than I had answers. We wondered how this could happen. He wondered how those images weren't just the latest in Hollywood special effects. I've watched the televised tributes and the "Remember When" pieces that have been playing non-stop this week and (thanks to a friend) I've also listened to Keith Olbermann's take on what that day (and the subsequent anniversaries) have meant to many of the people in this country. 3:55 p.m. - September 11, 2008 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
