I'm sad to say I'd forgotten 9/11.  Well not forgotten but had become numb.  Desensitized.  Indifferent.

 

I'm none of those things any longer.

 

I just watched a heart wrenching documentary on 9/11.  102 Minutes That Changed America (History channel).  It was all video footage and audio recordings of people there as it happened.  You experienced the explosions, the running terrified through the streets, the being hit with a blackout cloud of ash, all of it.

 

I lost it when it went to shot of people hanging out of windows waving flags hoping for fresher cooler air, hoping for rescue and not realizing that in twenty minutes they would be dead.

 

Later I thought how sad it would be for those innocents of Middle Eastern descent and how their world was about to change tenfold.

 

I remember where I was that day.  I was at work until midnight supporting the NYC hospitals with their pharmaceutical needs.  I was horrified.  I was heart broken.

 

And I won't forget again.
