I still can't read/watch... Recently the media has been airing the dispatch tapes from 9/11, and I have to change the channel. I still have the People and Time magazines that came in the mail after it happened. They are face down in the bottom of a drawer. Maybe someday I'll want to read them, but I'm just not ready yet.
My town lost more people than any other on that day and I'm afraid that I will see/hear someone that I know either personally or indirectly. I was having nightmares LONG after the stench of the burning towers left the air. It's a smell I will never forget!
On every anniversary since, I've begged my husband to work from home that day, and I dread another one coming up.
I am glad to see the immediate actions that England is taking, though... |
