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.
