Remembering that day

11 Sep

Where were you nine years ago today?

I woke up to my neighbor telling me there’s something wrong in New York. Soon, I was sitting in my high school classes watching the news. Parents were traveling abroad. Brother was at college. Best friends were in Europe. The reactions were fairly similar across the board- a combination of disbelief, hope and caution.

Being in a pop punk/alternative rock/emo phase at the time, this song resonated with the current events.

The Innocent by Goldfinger, Mest and Good Charlotte

Time cannot erase those images and emotions tied to that day, but by the grace and strength of our being, life goes on.
