It's Been 10 Years

And I can still remember like it was yesterday. I remember waking up to my radio talking about the first plane hitting Tower 1 and that something had just hit the Pentagon. I remember thinking to myself "How can something big hit a shape??" Then it donned on me. Damn. I was glued to the TV until I had to leave for school. It was the second day of my freshman year of High School. We watched TV all day. Every class. Every event that was planned for that following weekend was cancelled so there was nothing else to do but watch in horror. I then learned that I was living history. Something that was going to be written in History books and talked about for the rest of time. Things will never be the same and the only thing we can do is move forward. I think about my friends who lost family members in the Towers and on Flight 93. I remember how it affected them for months and months after. I didn't know what to say or do. All I could do was be their shoulder to cry on. It's really sad when those 6 people I knew who were deeply affected by this tragedy, I haven't spoken to since then. It hurts my heart but I know they are moving forward in their own ways.
