Nine, Eleven: Forever In Memory

Today, I am silent.  Every year of the last seven, on this day, I pause and remember.  I remember the devastation.  The sadness.  The fear.  The anger.  The tragedy.

I remember television news footage and amateur video capture.  I remember towers tumbling, burning.  I remember airplanes disappearing.  I remember smoke.  I  remember fire. I remember a cloud of debris.  A cloud of cherished lives, gone in an instant.

I remember lives of those I never knew.  I remember those who tried desperately to escape as they jumped from windows hundreds of flights in the sky.  I remember those who perished, and I cry.  I remember the pain of those who survived, the pain of those who witnessed this doom, the pain of those who lost loved ones in this unconscionable act.

I remember feeling so close to the terror, and yet really, so far away.

I have no words to describe 9/11.  I lived those emotions and I still remember the pain.

I will never forget.
