Where do I begin, On 9/11 I will never forget where I was or what I was doing, I am sure that is what everyone that was touched by it will say. My first reaction was one of disbelief, this can't be happening here, not today, not in America. They say that life and some of the experiences can cause a roller coaster of emotions, my next feeling was fear, eyes looking up at the airplanes passing over, I now know that my feeling of fear was selfish and unjust. The feeling of fear was their intent and for a few minutes they did win on that level. Listening to the events unfold on the radio, my only means of information because I was at work, the next emotion kicked in ANGER (this one lives with me today), I do admit that at that point I wanted retribution for their cowardly actions. I had to stop my vehicle at this point because the next emotion kicked in, sadness... and yes I will admit grown men do cry, I cried for the people in the Planes, WTC and Pentagon and last but not least those that died in Pennsylvania, I cried for the fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters,and all other family members that lost a big part of their hearts that day. In the book Reclaiming The Sky, I learned of many people that stepped up to help those that needed help, guidance or just a shoulder, They are all HEROES to me and has helped me cope a little more with 9/11, its going on 6 years since this horrible event and I still have not gotten any less sad, angry, or less forgetful of it...I guess I am in that 10% (Grapplers) thank you for an insight of these wonderful people... God Bless

God bless you - i am really happy you took the time to share your thoughts- i just flew with a captain 767 whose very close friend was the captain onboard united 175 that hit world trade center-he is still so upset- this is a wonderful arena to share your feelings and move beyond grief to healing- you are not alone
