A moment at the 9/11 Memorial
This post is the tenth Buttercupland remembrance of September 11 that I have written. My first post was in 2009, in my first year of blogging. Not unlike other grieving experiences I have known, as the years have gone by my feelings are less raw, but the pain and the sadness remain, and I suspect they will as long as I live. There is too much grief and too much sorrow to just disappear, and I don't want those who died on this day seventeen years ago to be forgotten. My pain is their remembrance. I would have it no other way.
Below the photograph is a video I took at the 9/11 Memorial this afternoon. It's my first Buttercupland video, so please excuse any issues viewing it. I wanted to share the experience with those who were not able to be there today.
It was a tough day, my friends, but this year as in years past, I appreciate the support and love from friends around the world. I am, as always, very grateful.
As ever, thanks for visiting. Take good care and give an extra hug to those you love.
Thank you for the video. A touching reminder, indeed.
ReplyDeleteIt's a day I will never forget. I remember that you live and worked close by and the day is more real to you than many of us. Praying we will never have to see a day like that again.
ReplyDeleteWonderful video, Carol.
ReplyDeleteYour words, "My pain is their remembrance." Wow! That's going in my little notebook, Poems, Prayers and Promises.
Beautifully said, Carol.
ReplyDeleteI’ve not been in the city for half a dozen years, I’d like to come and see the memorial and the museum.
You did well with your video.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you for each of your 9/11 posts. It is still so shocking and sad isn't it?
