Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at a training seminar that was required by my job. I remember everyone's cell phones all started to ring within seconds of each other....disbelieving "What?!" and "Oh, my GOD!" was quiclkly followed by eerie silence. No one knew what to say or do. The following days and weeks were difficult for the obvious reasons and the added fact that my husband is in the Army. I couldn't come to grips with what had happened...the enormity of that day. Now, a year later, I still haven't come to grips with it, really. I did have a thought today, though. I thought how much hate was behind these acts. Hate for a country, a way of life, and for LIFE, in general. That, to me, is the one thing that I find both the saddest AND the hardest to understand. Are we as Americans just that naive, to think that everyone CAN get along? Or is it just that amazing that so many people bought into the hatred and violence? 9/11 was a horrendous, senseless, hate-filled act of terrorism. More than wanting justice or retribution...I just want to understand. Why? How could you? How could we let you? Where do we go from here? Mostly, just WHY!??
