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 6th grade, and I had morning P.E. We dressed out but instead of doing the regular laps, we went to the gym to watch T.V., which was weird, because that only happens if it's raining outside, and it wasn't. So we watched T.V., all of us little kids grouped together, and at first I didn't get it; I didn't understand what a big deal this was. And then it came to very suddenly that this was something that none of us will ever forget. Ever. Every period after that the teacher had us listen to the radio, listening for new updates, for the new death tolls, for any news that we could get on the other side of the coast. I went home and hugged my family, and that whole day was unforgettable.
