Category — Memorial Tributes

Even seven years later… Thinking about 911 is a personally gut-wrenching experience for me.

I had wanted to, and begun, to write an account of that fateful day — to share as well as use as a method of closure for me — but I can’t complete it.  At least not at this time.  It is just much too painful to go back there, even after all these years.  It was a life altering experience for all of us.  As much as things stay the same, nothing will ever be the same after September 11, 2001.

My heart breaks for all those who lost loved ones.  The memories and visions they harbor must be unbearable. 

I can still see the groups of people with photos and flyers searching for loved ones.  Living in NYC, those flyers were still posted weeks and months after that fateful day.

The smoke from the burning towers could still be seen weeks and what seemed liked months later from way up Madison Avenue.

I remember going to — what I would call – a huge makeshift military center way over on 12th Avenue by the Westside Highway, off the water.  They had services of all kinds, including the ability to speak to psychologists and psychiatrists who volunteered their time.  Yes… I did speak to one!  Even here the flyers appeared of lost loved ones as well as lovely pictures sent in by children around the country!

Christmas 2001… I forced myself to go to Manhattan and visit the tree in Rockefeller Center.  There were police everywhere wearing black bands across their badges.  I could barely speak as I personally shook the hands of police officers I came in contact with and thanked them for what they do.  (It never occurred to me to thank them or the firefighters before September 11, 2001.  I am ashamed to admit this, but it is the truth!)

Let me stop my ramblings here and now…
