9/11
It's been my experience, with Kolby's death, that some (not all) people just continue with their day to day lives. Experiencing raw emotion is obviously uncomfortable for many, so ignoring it is easier. I watched video of 9/11 on the History channel last night (at first I wanted to change it). I think it was good for me to have that feeling of panic & anxiety because it took me back to that moment 8 years ago. I think we suppress those feelings because they're too painful. We should "never forget" the men & women who were tragically MURDERED. Those men & women were not numbers but wives, husbands, daughters, sons, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, etc...

You are right Ashley...this event does make a person uncomfortable. I have skipped all the events each year because frankly I don't want to remember that day. I'm glad we turned on the History Channel and watched it together...especially for August who was too young to remember the event and had many questions during the telecast. It is important to share how we felt that day and the events of the day with the younger generation. It did change our lives...
