... today.
It doesn't seem like ten years ago.
I guess everyone remembers where they were when the news broke and the sheer horror we all felt as the events unfolded.
Heartfelt thoughts go to all who suffered, or are still suffering, as a result of the atrocities of 9/11.
LILY & ROSE
Here are some photos of Lily & Rose. There are a few from the first time we saw them when they were just 4 weeks old. They would fit on your hand at this age and didn't look much like westies!

I happened to switch the BBC on around the time of the British remembrance ceremony in Grovesnor Square. Now I'm not normally one for such things on TV but I was drawn to the dignified simplicity of the occasion. There came a point when the names of the 67 British(I guess)people who perished in the attacks were read out by relatives and/or friends. And I was particularly struck by an ageing dad, his wife and daughter who clearly wanted to read the name of his beloved son. He struggled so much in that moment...it was as if the grief and sadness of 10 years had welled up inside of his heart, and he barely managed to speak the words that he'd sadly rehearsed. He was a broken man. And I thought I could feel his heartache. But of course I couldn't, not really, because I was not standing in his shoes...but I thought I could. That deeply affecting moment, for me, was as close as I imagine it gets.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I have found myself welling up throughout the day and haven't been able to avoid imagining how I would have felt if I had been standing there reading the name of someone close to me. It would be unbearable. Too much to deal with. How do these people ever come to terms with the horror of it all? I would torture myself imagining the last moments and yet I would never know.
