543rd entry ~ Five Years Later We Still Remember
9:28 pm
I thought I would leave my thoughts tonight on the five year anniversary of 9/11. In some ways I can't believe it's been 5 years because it seems like just yesterday it happened. I still remember everything about that day. Where I was, what I was doing, what the mood was in the building. I believe I've told my story on here before of where I was because after all this diary has been with me for at least three years. Five years though....wow. And next year this date will be on a Tuesday, the exact date it happened. I bet nobody's though about that yet.
The weather set the mood for today. It was dreary, grey, windy and rainy all day. I didn't want to get up this morning because I was up every three hours last night. It was weird. Then when I did fall asleep I had a very weird dream. I did get up, I did get ready for class and I did turn on the news to watch coverage from ground zero. It was sad to hear them read off the names of the fallen people. I don't know anyone that died that day, but I still feel for those who do. I went through my classes and in some we talked about it, others we didn't even mention it. I watched the presidents address tonight and thought it was nice. I don't like him, but I thought his speech was caring and sympothetic. Others will disagree, I'm sure, because normally I would too.
So five years later the scar still shows. But the scar will heal with time. Time heals everything. America is stronger because of this. We will prevail. God bless.
