I had planned to advoid TV all day today but then I came across this link....

[Mistress]

on an Everquest board I go to. I did not want to watch the TV or read most of the threads here because it tears at my heart badly. I have always been an overly sensative person, and when this happened last year I went into Shock. I have a link here that is not only very intense, saddening, and heart wrenching but also is a very beautiful Tribute to those who lost their lives. I know all of this is sensative matter to everyone here, it is to me as well but I thought those who could handle watching it would understand that this is probably one of the best tributes I have seen to 9-11-01.

Please forgive me if this has been posted once already. It takes a few to load but very worth it. I cried all through it however and be warned it is very heart breaking yet wonderful at the same time.

Thank you for posting that. It was a beautiful tribute. I cant stop crying...

*sigh*

I cant stop asking myself, Why.....

1. Why is it called politicsandprotest.org when there's neither politics nor protest?

2. Isn't "We Will Prevail" directly out of 1984?

I can remember turning on my TV and the very first thing I saw was one of the world trade center towers on fire. Then I heard about the airplane. I hope that is had truly been an accident. There was no mistake as I watched in horror as another plane flew directly into the second tower. Nothing, nothing I tell you can describe the amount of fear, heartache, loss and anger the rushed through my veins. I can remeber the shouts of No echoing off of my walls in the liging room and through out the house. My children were sleeping peacefully.

Not too long after the Pentagon was hit. Again nothing I could say would be able to properly describe the feelings of sheer pain and shock I was going through.

Another plane crashed into the ground not too long after this.

For a week I slept on my couch with CNN on. I watched replay after replay of the WTC attack. I can remeber cameras getting close up's enough to see people jumping out of windows so they would not burn to death. Watching them fall, burning, alive terrorized... What can you say other than Oh My God!.

Watching the tribute posted above brought back fresh tears.

Something was stolen from me that day last year. Something I would give anything in the world to have back. I lost the sense of security I had the day before Sept 11, 2001. I want to be able to go to sleep at night and not having to think that because I live in/near the capotial of a state I have the chance to be next. I don't want to have the sense of fear I have everytime I see a plane I think is flying too low. I don't want to think about the air I am bretheing might be contaminate. I don't want to think about opening my mail for any thing that shouldn't be there. I want to know that when I send my kids outside to play in the back yard they are safe. I want all of this back. I want to turn on TV one night to hear president Bush saying We got that fucker!.

However even when this all comes to an end. We will never have what we had before 9/11. Why? because there is always someone to replace Osama bin Laden with a glad heart.
