My wife's a flight attendant and we give pause to think of the airline crews, in addition to all the other victims. 9/11/01 was our daughter's very first day at school ever in pre-school. On Friday she celebrated her "friendi-versary" with her school girlfriends (and "Aquaint-iversary" with the boys she doesn't like). Helps show how life goes on for the rest of us.Jim/ArtofGardeninghttp://artofgardeningbuffalo.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-69129529118113677982009-09-13T20:32:44.110-04:002009-09-13T20:32:44.110-04:00Amen to everything you wrote Kylee.

It is fourteen years ago, but feels like yesterday whenever 9/11 rolls around. I thought of all of the terrorism around the world this year. We must not forget.~~DeeDee/reddirtramblingshttp://www.reddirtramblings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-39368969191325831912009-09-12T21:37:49.345-04:002009-09-12T21:37:49.345-04:00So true, Kylee.

We must never forget that awful moment that affected so many innocent lives.<br /><br />I was so happy to read the Xris raised funds for the "gardeners for Recovery " for the National September 11 memorial.

Downtown Manhattan, where I worked, where the fires burned into the Spring, was a crematory. It took many rains before all the ash was washed away.<br /><br />My office overlooks Ground Zero. The changes there have been far too slow in coming, but they are finally happening. Yesterday, I could watch the families descend and return, leaving flowers in the temporary pool that's setup every year for the ceremonies.<br /><br />When the National September 11 Memorial is finished, there will be a cobblestone in the plaza for "Gardeners for Recovery," the name of the campaign I sponsored to raise funds for the Memorial.Chris Kreussling (Flatbush Gardener)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08467595231097695124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-34218145834606269952009-09-12T08:19:14.074-04:002009-09-12T08:19:14.074-04:00We all have stories about where we were that Septe...We all have stories about where we were that September. It is heart-breaking. My brother was in the Pentagon and was blown out of his desk. He spent the day helping others, but we didn't know for a long time whether he was ok because phone lines were jammed or down. I have since seen NYC and the Pentagon but not gone to the fields in Pennsylvania.Janet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-74403735347098896442009-09-12T07:57:27.093-04:002009-09-12T07:57:27.093-04:00I was watching video clips and pictures on the Int...I was watching video clips and pictures on the Internet yesterday and cried a lot.

And the silence in the skies for days afterward. It's hard to believe it was already 8 years ago.Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.com
