I've cried everyday
the first day, in shock and horror.
and in mourning for the loss of our grand beautiful monument. nyc will never be the same.
the second and third days I cried traveling to and from work
listening to the radio
flicking through stations of
callers desperatly seeking their husbands, wives, sons, mothers, fathers, uncles, cousins, best friends, daughters, aunts, co-workers.
they actually have aired cell phone recordings of people on the phone with their friends and family during the attack.
one caller in particular disturbed me-
"I looked up, and saw debris falling, (sob)... it was people jumping"
indescribable.
but today I cried for a different reason
I cried because on my way home
their are red cross collections/fund rasiers/american flags on every corner. people calling up the radio station donating millions of dollars, donating 100 dollars, donating 15 cents....
car washes, green ribbons, get well cards, food for fire fighters, hospitality for airline strandees, every school is putting in an effort, every person is helping
I've never seen a coming together such as this.
