It was a Tuesday.

[Virgo10]

9/11/01 was a Tuesday.
It was the perfect September day.
My daughter had the day off.
My son was living in Florida.
My husband was working.
It was 3 more weeks until I went to Disney World.
It was 2 weeks since I’d seen the Everly Brothers.
My mother was still alive.
My birthday was the day before.
It was 9 a.m. and I was still in my PJ’s and working on the computer.
My mother called and told me things I could not believe.
The TV stayed on all day and into the night.

9/14/01 was a Friday.
A message circulated on the Internet.
Go outside that night with flags and candles.
I went to an auction early in the evening.
Around 9 p.m. I left.
On the way home I started to see a few people.
Then more, then groups, then crowds!
I cried in my car.
When I got home I went to my neighbors.
And at the corner of my street it was just me
Then there was more, then a group, then a crowd!

9/11/04 is a Saturday.
Life has gone on but we should NEVER forget.
Pray for those who died and suffer.
Respect those who serve our country
Always remember what happened that day.
The day that innocence was lost and life changed.
Live life to the fullest and cherish it always.
Because 9/11 was a Tuesday and the perfect September day.

Thanks Roberta. And it's a bit eerie, but today the weather is identical to the weather we experienced that day.

Bumping this back to page one in case anyone missed it.

I noticed that too and it's kind of scaring me.
Very well said, Roberta.

I thought the exact same thing about the weather this morning. It was a crystal clear day that day, like we almost never have here in NYC. The air was cool and clear, the sky was a deep rich blue. There was a certain hope in the air that day. Today was EXACTLY the same, but oh so different.........

We are hanging around the house today and may go outside to play later, but I am always wanting to stay close to home on 9/11. I thought I was a jaded person on the morning of 9/11, that I had heard it all, but then I lost my innocence forever.
