It's all coming back

[ccvirgo911]

Watching a show on A&E called '7 Days in September', and my heart is breaking all over again. The terrible loss, the pain and anguish of that day is just washing over me. Our country will always have a unhealing wound on this day. I keep thinking about the horror of it all, where I was at that moment, the dreadful choice those poor souls had to make-stay and burn alive, or jump into the heavens. I remember the silence after it was over, followed by the intense shock and sorrow on the faces of the rescue workers and firefighters.
I am normally not a person who believes in conspiracy theories like LIHOP or MIHOP. But I must say, the past few years with Bush in office makes me wonder now more than ever. What did he know beforehand, and did he let it happen? If so, how can he manage to walk upright and look at the American people and tell us he shares our sorrow?
September 11 is my birthday. It will never be a day of celebration of MY life again. I was born on a day that took so many lives. I choose to make it a day to celebrate THEIR lives. This year, I will devote the day to helping my fellow Americans by volunteering at the local shelter. In this way, I hope I can make the day feel more like a day to lend a hand to those less fortunate than myself.

1. CC.....I will remember you on September 11

I promise. I can imagine how you feel, but those who are gone would not want you not to have a good birthday again. Happy birthday.

2. This is a difficult time of the year..........

Many of us had personal losses, many of us were close to it. Many many more lost a sense of security in our home. It is so, so important that we remember that this wound is still open and aching, and that we tread lightly on the memories.

I will never forgive those self righteous hypocrites for using the pain for their cheap political tricks.

3. I live on the west coast so have not seen

7 Days in September yet, but when I heard this morning that it will be shown tonight I made my self a note to watch. September 11 is my birthday, too and like you my birthday will never be the same for me. I will always live with the absolute horror of September 11 and if it is ever proven that George Bush new it was going to happen, I hope he has not one day of peace on this earth and burns in hell forever.

5. I can almost...Almost... understand

I was born on December 7.
I didn't witness the attocities, they happened 24 years before I was born. I just shudder when ever I tell someone my birthdate and they bring up "Oh, you were born on Pearl Harbor Day"; Those who know what Pearl Harbor was.

I don't eny you.
You have bad memories of that day.
My birthday has bad movies.
