That's all we have when people pass - memories. And you're right of course, we should never forget them. We live to remember...

Thank you NIgel...you are absolutely right...it's our duty as we live on...to always remember...always...

This is great Sherry!!! This is what kills me!! I posted something similar on fuckr and only got 3 comments...one being YOURS!!! Seems like MOST people have forgotten or don't have anything POSITIVE to say about it. SORRY to inform everyone....but I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!! If they don't like it....they can kiss my fucking white ass and get cussed out by me in the process. :)) Sorry had to let that out.

Thank you dear dear Sara! Don't be sorry...I love your comment...and your total honesty about your feelings...I whole heartedly welcome it and adore it and you!!!

I'm not American, I'm Canadian and British by birth. I'm proud that Canada did what it could to provide a safe haven to all the planes that were in the air that day and couldn't land in the U.S. Of course, I remember the 25 Canadians that died in the Towers that day, and the thousands of others from many countries including the U.S.... the loss of human life, and the subsequent human suffering was and is just unacceptable! It remains in my mind that it was more horrifying that something like this could happen on U.S. soil... on North American soil... in the Western World... but it was just as horrifying that it happened on this Earth, to innocent people of all ages and nationalities going to work, or visiting New York, or just passing by, or risking their lives to pull others to safety! We all live on this small little planet in a much greater Universe and we need to put an end to the violence that is still occurring the world over, before our violence becomes our end!

Sherry, my friend, you have reached out your hand across the border that separates us and taken mine, you have also reached out to Germany, Lithuania, the U.K., and to your fellow Americans... and through remembering together what should never have happened I hope we all take one step closer to not letting it happen ever again, and to speaking out against the violence in our world!

Okay... I'll step down from this soap box now! Next?

Julian you've said every thing just SOOOO perfectly and eloquently...as I could not!
Thank you my dear dear loving friend!!!
And never step down from your soap box!!! :-)
I love you, you have a beautiful caring heart! Thank you again so much!
and of course you know my hand is always out stretched towards yours! :-)

Who could forget? It was an extremely shocking and sad day for the world. After 9/11 the world was not the same anymore. I still remember that day vividly, a friend called me right after she had heard the news, and she couldn't speak in coherent sentences and kept repeating plane crash, world trade center. I couldn't get anything else out of her and turned on the TV set. And first I couldn't believe it, I thought it was a norror movie, or some extremely sick joke presented as a reality show, but the news was on all the channels, there was nothing else but news coverage that evening. What had happened seemed so out of this world that it took me almost all evening before I could accept that this was the reality. I was in shock, and so were most of the people in my small town in Germany, miles away from NYC, but the feeling was: this has happened here, in our community, something that concerns all of us, regardless of the location where it did happen.

And then I tried to contact my friends on the East Coast, no e-mail, dead phone lines. I finally got through to my ex who was visiting family in CA at the time. We found out that one of our friends had been scheduled for a meeting in one of the Twin Towers right around that time when the planes crashed, but for some reason the meeting was canceled at the last minute. Another friend from NYC who used to work in the vicinity of the WTC described the shock, the horror, and the chaos when she tried to make her way back home, and this feeling of a nightmare going on an on, hoping she would wake up any minute, but she never did.

What I learned while living in Israel is that the Israelis don't let terror disrupt their daily lives. Terrorists kill innocent people, but what's just as horrible (and intended) is the concept to strike fear into people's hearts, anywhere, at any given point in time. It is, above all, a psychological warfare, and whereas, sadly, not all terror attacks can be prevented, living in fear can be. This is up to us. There is a saying that "power is given", and no terrorist shall be given the power to make us live in fear.

BRAVO Gabi BRAVO...yes exactly...I love that saying "power is given" so incredibly poignant and true! You have once again said EVERYthing perfectly brilliant...as always! Thank you so much for leaving this comment...it and you mean the world to me!

Wow, thanks, Sherry! You are so sweet! :-) Now I'm speechless ;-)

you are welcome my dear friend! but you speechless? ;-))))

Not for very long dear Sherry ;-)))

Thank GOD!!! :-DDDD

who could ever really forget this...

oh and btw in my opinion there is no thinking in countries and boundaries within intelligent hearts and minds. i dont give a fuck if you live in canada, turkey, switzerland, timbuktu, neverneverland, the moon, africa, ireland, a friggin wormhole, my ass or whatever your parents dropped you in. fuck this narrowminded shit. there are terrorists in every fuckin country and fuckin good warmhearted people in the same fuckin countries right next door. you got me? i dont know who i'm talking to , just letting this shit out. pardon ma!.

kind of what I was trying to say, but more to the point... 9/11 happened to humankind, we must all remember it and say "no more"! I watched the movie "Wyatt Earp" the other night and there was a line in the movie that I just recalled, that is very appropriate.

Wyatt Earp: [finding that everything has gone to Hell after returning to Dodge City] My name's Wyatt Earp... it all ends *now*!

:-)))

GO BABY GO!!! making your ma proud! :-) LET IT OUT!!!

exactly right

Never forget...nope.
:(

nope never :'(
