I read that there is a reunion this year to thank them. Thank goodness you were safe - inconvenience can be dealt with, but you were safe and well taken care of. <br /> For me I was to fly on Sept 12th to a conference in San Diego. The conference of course was cancelled, and we were supporting our American colleagues who were verifying that relatives safe and in a state of shock, panic and a fear that I had never seen before. I suppose it is similar to war time. And yes we watched it all happen on the tv.<br />It also was a time for being understanding of our muslim colleagues, as they had immigrated to escape this sort of terrorism and came to North America for freedom and safety. <br />Sept 12th is my now husband's birthday - he was a work colleague 10 years ago. His birthday is always overshadowed with 9/11. Not that he needs to celebrate, and it is one more year we have managed to hold off more terrorism. However, I do not plan on travelling on or around Sept 11th - probably for ever.<br />May we never have to live through anything similar. And no travelling on airplanes for you in September :)Darleen Witmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881549944359559727noreply@blogger.com
