Memories of 911.

I sit here on the Labour Day weekend, and we are watching a movie about the 911 tradgedy.  This movie brings back so many horrrific memories of that day.

While I was working that day, I happened to enter several businesses as usual,  but this time there seemed to be no one in sight. The places seemed to be empty, later I happened to find out why, no one was visable.  As  I travelled along my normal route, I entered one business that had the television playing in the corner. Everyones eyes were turned towards the television. Automatically I turned my eyes to the television that everyone else was watching. The horror that I witnessed at that moment, was something that I will never forget. I witnessed the second air plane strike the World Trade Centre Tower. I was dumb founded while I watched in horror.  The words spoken by all that were around me, were words of disbeleif. But, there it was, the tower struck by the second plane. How could anyone do such a heinous thing?  I could not comprehend “why”. I was dumb founded, and lost for words that made any sense. ” WHY?” There were not enough words in the English language to make me understand, “WHY?” 

I left that business, and headed on my way to my next stop. I could feel tears rolling down my checks, and sadness in my heart. I felt pain for those who were in the towers, and pain and fear they had to endure that day. I cried for their families, and their loss, and the uncertianty of the fate of their family members, and friends that worked there that fateful day. I will never forget where I was, and what I was doing that day, when the towers came down. I will pass the events onto my grand-children, and their children, for as long as I live.

Our world can be a very scary place, and this was definately scary. For days , weeks, and months, we talked, and tried to reason the why behind the events of that day. This movie brought back many memories of the day, the families who suffered, the babies, and young children who lost parents, and would never see, kiss, or hold them again. I felt the pain, and sadness enter my heart once more.

We must always cherrish the ones we love, for we will never know when our time will come. I kiss, and say I love you, just in case I do not return, or may not see them again. We all should find the time in our busy lives to say I love you, and add a kiss.     ♥

Please take the time. ” Have you said the words  ” I LOVE YOU “, and passed on the kiss lately?   ♥
