I don't understand how any American could have let go of that anger after what happened.<BR/><BR/>I do find, however, that I have a difficult time in carrying on an everyday sort of life. Not a day goes by that I don't think of 9/11. And when I see that incredibly blue sky again, I look up for planes.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01216119321836479641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570456.post-27024613546969549082007-09-11T21:54:00.000-05:002007-09-11T21:54:00.000-05:00Six years ago today, I watched several friends die...Six years ago today, I watched several friends die. Some were casual friends from college and grad school. Some were family friends. Two were in my wedding party.<BR/><BR/>Six years ago today, my wife and I were sudden babysitters of several children whose parents could not get out of their Manhattan workplaces.<BR/><BR/>Six years ago today, my mother - a survivor of the London airblitz - explained to my panicky wife that everyone has to develop "an everyday sort of courage."<BR/><BR/>Six years ago today, my world changed. I changed. I developed an everyday sort of courage and a quiet anger. And I'm still angry. And I am still determined to carry on an everyday sort of life, no matter what.<BR/><BR/>CWCWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649532247008592580noreply@blogger.com
