9/11 Remembered

[Hulababy]

Just been watching the news and it is the 3rd anniversary of the September 11th tragedy. I can hardly believe that this is now 3 years ago.

Just wanted to say that my thoughts are with anyone affected, either directly or indirectly, on that day.

Oh God, Kate I am so sorry, I simply didn't know that anyone on Mumsnet had lost someone on that dreadful, dreadful day. I am so, so, sorry that I have added to your grief.

Words can't help. Angels watch over you all. Hugs.

Don't apologise, hmb. I don't want anyone to forget how horrific it was.

I just wish I didn't have a need to be reminded myself...

Yes, I think I can understand a little.

kate...my heart goes out to you. I was in new york with my ds on september 11 and it was the saddest day of my life. I sat with my mother and my friend who was staying with us and just watched the tv. And then the phone started ringing and the deaths started pouring in. All my friend's relatives and childhood friends were all policemen and firemen and dozens of them died that day. She cried for weeks and went to many funerals. I still cannot even think about that day, much less watch any images or photos of it without tearing up. I am crying as I write this.

Kate

I don't know what I can say, nothing to make it any better for you. But you should be so proud, that you have gone through this terrible tragedy, you are so brave and strong.

And it makes me feel guilty of how weak I can be, moaning about any tiny thing, with the children and my dh. I will definitely start afresh and am humbled by your courage.

I'm so sorry.

kate, I never realised this is how you came to be without your husband. Words cannot express how I feel - I am so sorry this happened to you and your girls.

kate, I am so sorry, so very very sorry. No-one should ever have to summon up such bravery as you and your little girl have done. I have read the tributes - he was a lovely man.

Kate, this was my feeling about what happened and I truly am so sorry for your and your family's loss. Thank-you for being so brave and open about sharing this with us. My heart is heavy typing this, but it's clear that you are strong and together (despite the anguish you must be feeling inside), and guiding your family through this unimaginable pain in the best way you can. Much love and thoughts to you. {{{{{{o}}}}}}
