six years later….<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

WoW<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

do you remember what you were doing<\/strong><\/span>
Sept 11 2001?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I got up in the morning to an email from a family member <\/strong><\/span>
it simply said “Oh my god…turn on the news”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

so I sat<\/strong><\/span>
in my burgundy recliner<\/strong><\/span>
in the safety of my living room<\/strong><\/span>
in my flannel nightgown<\/strong><\/span>
and chenille robe<\/strong><\/span>
from morning to late afternoon<\/strong><\/span>
mesmerized….<\/strong><\/span>
horrified….<\/strong><\/span>
and crying inconsolably….<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

thousands of things stand out for me<\/strong><\/span>
the fear of those people in the Towers<\/strong><\/span>
and on the planes<\/strong><\/span>
the phone cell phone calls<\/strong><\/span>
the fact that a charged cell phone could be used as a light<\/strong><\/span>
the devastation<\/strong><\/span>
the deaths<\/strong><\/span>
the dirt<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

remember the triage set up across the river that serviced almost no one?remember the loss of demeanor of the news anchors?<\/strong><\/span>
remember the postulating of politicians?<\/strong><\/span>
remember the tears of those left behind?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

where were you Sept 11, 2001?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I remember one thing with absolute clarity <\/strong><\/span>
I remember thinking that life is just this tenuous<\/strong><\/span>
and that we need to remember that slim window called life<\/strong><\/span>
<\/strong><\/span>
in everything we do and say<\/strong><\/span>
from morning to night <\/strong><\/span>
day in day out<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

and so…on Sept 12, 2001<\/strong><\/span>
I set about “getting my life back”<\/strong><\/span>
I set about “getting me back to being me” <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

sometimes I’ve succeeded<\/strong><\/span>
and sometimes….not so much<\/strong><\/span>
<\/strong><\/span>
b<\/strong><\/span>ut all the time<\/strong><\/span>
I am conscious of that slim window<\/strong><\/span>
that closed for so many<\/strong><\/span>
