9/11 Cafe – We will never forget

Kittens from all around Canada, are bringing more tissues, and carrying Roses with them. (From what I’ve read – roses are the national flower of America.)

They are offering hugs, and support to our “Sister Country” on this sad, sad day!

AZDEBRA – I’m sorry for your loss. Big Hugs!

Morning all

(((Deb)))

I know how you are feeling. I have been there. Still there some days 🙁

It’s a beautiful day to remember, many were lost that day. Of many colors, faiths, nationalities. But they were all human, sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, grandparents, cousins, friends.

Let this day serve as a reminder that we need understanding, peace and love in this world. Most people are just trying to live their life, raise a family, be a good human. It’s the select few that are tearing this world apart. I pray that we can all come together one day, in my lifetime. I want my girls to know a peaceful one.

Hugs!

Perhaps we should give thanks that they “only” killed 3000 people…as Tony Blair said in a recent interview, if they could have killed more, they would. I know it’s an incredibly naive point of view, but why can’t we just all get along? Extremism in any form is a deadly enemy.

*passes more tissues around*

I was at work, had the radio on and the announcer came on in the middle of a song. They NEVER do that and I knew something awful had happened. I thought it as a little plane, perhaps a Cessna, I called my mom and she was crying and said no, it was a jet, and then a scream and she said another one.

I live and work very near BWI. The skies were so eerie later that day and the days after. All we heard were the surveillance jets (I’m not far from DC, either).

I remember precisely–my husband and I are very thankful for the men that made sure a third strike did not occur as planned that day. I sat with my neighbor–lost her father, brother, and brother-in-law that day in the second tower. One of my best friends called that night–a mortician that went the next day from his home state to New York, his services were needed. The United States is certainly not the only country to face a terrorist attack–they have happened around the world. My heart goes out to family and friends that are left without the ones that they love this day.

Morning all— I also remember exactly where I was 9 years ago–I was on Jury Duty–we had to be at the Courthouse at 8am, so we only heard a little dis-jointed info before we went into the Court Room at 9. One of the ladies on the Jury with us was a FLight Attendant–she was supposed to be on the plane that went down in PA. I was still living in Virginia then–we heard nothing of the details until we broke for lunch at about 2pm, and the case kept going till 8:30 that night so they could get it over with. So didn’t see any pictures or hear the magnitude of it till after that. Having been born in DC and raised in that area (MD and VA), it was just devastating, as it was for everyone.

I still cry everytime I see the photo’s—please pass more tissues.
