It sounds like we went through similar emotions.

It's ...Buttercup, your recollection is very vivid. It's strange because I don't think we ever talked about where we were just that everyone was safe. I woke up late in my dorm that day...ike every day I turned on my tv and I thiknk my stomach dropped to the floor. I missed a few calls, and was terrified that something had happened, so I listened to my messages right away. FRom the messages, I knew Dad and all of you were ok...actually, you were MIA but mom knew you were at school safe. Then I called my BF which is now my hubby, made sure he was ok, and I wwent to the cafeteria where every student was packed in watching CNN on the big screens. Only then did it sink in and shock subsided. I was upset, terrified, angry, vengeful, and confused at why this happened. But grateful my family and friends were safe. I felt guilty to be relieved my family was ok, but also guilty that I felt so much angry and sadness, even though I had lost no one. I still felt and feel today that on that day I lost some innocence of myself, and my country. That is the first time ever in my life something has happened to the US and war has started and I really comprehened it. Mom said I would never forget where I was, and I am certain that I won't.Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662991944631267245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22920054.post-1158245602971677442006-09-14T10:53:00.000-04:002006-09-14T10:53:00.000-04:00What an amazing recollection and how it affected y...What an amazing recollection and how it affected your carreer and choice of where to work/live in the country. I was woken up by my daughter when the first plane hit, and was watching Regis and Kelly when the second plane hit. I went to a freiends house, and like you stayed in front of the tv for days, no shower eating a bit and chainsmoking! We were in Cananda but very afraid for what ever might happen. I remember families of victims in wtc centre saying they did not want war. <BR/><BR/>Well, I came by looking for your TT but this was an incredible post, thanks for sharing.<BR/><BR/>Just for the record, here is my Thursday thirteen for this week...<BR/><BR/>http://gnosticminx.blogspot.com/2006/09/thirteen-things-i-can-do-to-save-world_14.htmlCandy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22920054.post-1158183145913287532006-09-13T17:32:00.000-04:002006-09-13T17:32:00.000-04:00Hi Buttercup,Instead of commenting here, I just se...Hi Buttercup,<BR/><BR/>Instead of commenting here, I just sent you a long e-mail.

She feels like we are -- I feel like we're not. But then she has 3 big wars under her belt. She remembers rationing. Her perspective is a bit different.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
