I just posted this article that I wanted to share with you all. I hope that you are able to find time to remember all those who were killed on this day 5 years ago.

9/11 was already a hard day. In 1990 my first son Jonathan died in utero. Today he would be 16 had he survived. I am stunned by the passing of time. Some days it feels like yesterday when my heart shattered into a million pieces and other days it feels like a million years and a million trucks have driven over me.

Ironically, I now have a 9 year old step-daughter who was born on 9/11. Funny how things work out.

I am not surprised at how fast 5 years has past since 9/11/2001.

I do not believe we will ever forget b/c for those of us who have children, my son was 3 1/2 years old and had no clue as to what was happening in our world, and the last year or so he has been very focused on the Twin towers and the WTC. He is trying to understand the world on 9/11 and make sense of what it means to him in the terms of his love of air planes and bad men in the world and BIG strong towers that should never have fallen and lots of people dying and lots of people being sad.

The world will never forget what happened that day because of the children that were too little then to understand but are now trying to understanding what no one can.

What truly frightens me...is that nothing else has happened.

9/11 the day the world changed. We did not really take Terrorists seriously and now we know who Bin Laden is. Doesn't matter if they find him or not because there will be another man to take his place.

All around the world our hearts went out to those families who were affected.

God Bless them all.

I am appalled at the jingoistic speech broadcast by Bush, in which he states that 'America didn't go looking for this War.' What a load of Bull. America certainly didn't, but he sure as hell did. He went after the wrong people, and subsequently actually assisted in creating a link between Al Quaeda and Iraq.... even though none existed at the beginning of the current conflict.
What a total <words fail me> !!

Dear Erika,

I am sorry for your loss of Jonathan. I experience my losses in the same wy that you described. At times it feels like a galaxy away, and other times it feels like I am reliving it so close it just hurts.

I too think about the fact that nothing else has happened. I hear of the thwarted plans and wonder.

I love that your son who was so young at the time is interested in the events of 9/11 today. It is a good thing to remember and honor the lives that were taken.

Thinking of you...
Corinne
