Old Habits Die Hard

Computer croaked. :( Won't be online except at the library.

turned on the tv like i did
nine years ago.  old habits
die hard.  who knew what
happened would happen?
 
when the whole world stopped,

unable to peel its eyes
away from what was
unfolding before them?

unable to do anything,

except watch?  i remember.
and it all began with turning
on the tv nine years ago today:

you'd think i'd learn ...


NEVER FORGET.

(c) 2010, Karla Dorman (9/11)

Karla, it is a scene that will replay in the minds of all of us that witnessed those events unfold on the TV on that day in infamy. It will rewind and replay in our minds endlessly. The anguish is just as great today as it was then. A bitter pill that we can never swallow. Monumental tragedy is always that way. It exists by itself. May peace and love be with you my dear friend.

So heartbreaking sad, and the only thing that helps tonight as I sit here is that I can imagine all of the angels that rushed to the sky to help that day.
Blessings,

I keep a journal Karla and everything is written in it by the family, We are on book 16 but we don't need to write this down as we will never forget the innocent lives lost that day.
