Reading your posts just brings it all back. I have goosebumps. One would have to be a hermit not to be affected by it all.
kat: It must have been so hard to lose friends/co-workers. I fly all the time but I was once in a microburst where all the flight attendants were injured. When we landed in Baltimore - they were all taken off on stretchers - that was terrifying. But as you say - you need to get back up there. Life goes on.
Fig: I can relate. The Backstreet Boys did a candlelight vigil - it was very somber. The Air Canada Center (huge) was only about 1/3 full. There were many threats of bombing to Union Station in Toronto and the ACC is right there so most people just didn't go. Not sure why we did.
Gineen: You must have been so afraid for your dad. I think there was nothing worse than worrying about where your family members were. And our exes were real dicks! Mine came over that night to bring Ashley's birthday gift to her AND pack up his CDs right in front of her! So she is stressed over his leaving and 9-11 but he actually packed his things right in front of her rather than worrying about the impact. And strangely - I could sense that OW had picked out Ashley's gifts. The OW he was vehemenently denying. Hmmm... I told him he was being insensitive to her feelings. He replied that "She is aware I'm leaving". UGH...
On Friday he texted me "You never told me that Ryan has a Superbug!". I thought "what???". He wrote back a little while later. "Oh, I was just reading a text you sent me in June. I was mixed up". DUH!
