The five-year anniversary of 9/11 has arrived. Care to share your stories? I'll start with mine.
I was in fifth grade, and we already had a half day scheduled. They didn't tell us what had happened. There didn't even seem to be tension in the school, or maybe I just didn't notice it. I remember walking around the perimeter of my schoolyard during recess, and randomly, I began to sing the "Mishaberach" to myself, which is a song we sing in Temple praying for the healing of mind and spirit. When I got home, my mom was still in her exercise wear, squatting right in front of the TV, licking peanut butter off a spoon. I laughed and joked, "Oh, now you like watching TV, huh?" (She always picked on me for watching too much TV at that time.) She calmly told me no and explained what had happened. That afternoon, as I went around the neighborhood for our school fundraiser, I predicted that everyone would be watching it on TV. And, of course, they were. I just find it creepy that I had a sudden urge to sing the "Mishaberach" even though I didn't know what had happened. What's your story? |

i was in fifth grade as well... i heard my mom up at like 4am listening to the radio
because we didn't have cable yet. the weird thing was in math, we were reading about planes the day before and our homework was to find a plane we would like to fly in.. when i went to class i got to see what happened, i really couldn't picture anything over the radio. it was so scary, i remember not wanting to go to school because i was afraid i was gonna die. five years flew by so fast it's amazing.. |
