Remembering those we lost 20 years ago, celebrating those we were able to spend the last 20 with. My dad ran into NYC as an NYPD sergeant without a second thought. He and his crews spent months working the recovery efforts. I can still smell the debris that came home on Dad's uniforms. 💔
Out on my run today someone had some signs in their yard. It‘s hard to believe that 20 years ago, American‘s lives were forever changed. Our sense of security was crushed. I was in 8th grade. Looking back it‘s easy to forget that so many people that died were humans too. Family members lost. I will never forget 9/11/2001. 🇺🇸
Today is a weird day for me. September 11 was my mom‘s birthday long before those fuckers flew planes into buildings (one of which I could see burning from my office across the river). Now she‘s gone and I‘m still here. It‘s like a regular day, but it really isn‘t. I‘m okay-just kind of want this day to be over.
Seeing I probably will not be on social media tomorrow seeing I will be traveling to NYC to visit the towers site. I lost my second mom when her plane crashed into the first tower. So me and my best friend and her kids will be going to put flowers at the site. #neverforget9/11/2001
I was a freshman in HS, almost 15, on 9/11/01. The eerie silence in the air is one of the things I remember most about 9/11 and the following day. My parents house is about 7 miles east of Chicago‘s O‘Hare airport flanked by two arrival flight paths. One can easily see/hear 10 planes go by in as many minutes at peak times. To this day I can remember how eerie the silence was and coming to the realization that things had forever changed.

From my visit to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum last year.
I am not American and I was only 3 when it happened, but visiting the Museum was very moving and educational. May all the victims, in the planes, the towers, from the resulting wars, Rest In Peace.
Started to listen to the soundtrack from the Broadway show Come From Away on way home from work. Based on true events of 38 planes forced to land in Newfoundland on 9/11. I was crying in my car. I was not prepared for the emotions and the memories that this musical dredged up. I had friends in NYC & trapped away from home when all planes grounded. I want to see musical even more now but I'll be sure to bring tissues!
I was not here 15 years ago, and so I am reticent to talk about my own feelings about this day. It's not my place. But this is one of the clearest nights in years, and you can see the Tribute in Light from outside our apartment. It hits you, sometimes, a little or all at once. Anyway, wanted to share. (sorry for the repost.)
