gingin's blog: A Meadow of Wildflowers

Posted on Sep 10, 2011 1:41 PM

<p>   When I got up this morning, I had every intention of spending the cooler morning and early afternoon in the yard doing clean up. There are branches and leaves everywhere...not from storms, but just in general. However, the best laid plans sometimes take a detour.</p>
<p>   After running to the post office I got sidetracked by the TV. FOX news was doing live coverage of the Flight 93 Memorial dedication in Shankesville, Pa. And I knew I had to watch, even though I'm certain it will be repeated or at least highlighted many times. But I wanted to see it unfold live. And I'm glad I did. It was very well done. Respect and love for the 40 HEROS on United flight 93 was quite obvious. The speaches and music brought tears.</p>
<p>   Ten years ago, tomorrow, I was not yet up when the phone rang and Bill said "Turn on the TV". Could not believe what my eyes were telling me I was seeing. I sat in bed glued to the horrific scene while the dogs wondered what was wrong with Mommy and why their breakfast was late. Most of the next few days was spent in front of the TV.</p>
<p>   Recently I have seen most of the six part series on the re-building of Ground Zero. I have no doubt that the yard will again be put on hold tomorrow as I watch the various rememberances and memorials that will be covered on TV. And so I invite anyone reading this who would like to share a respectful comment or memory of 9/11/2001 to do so.</p>
