I will not go on and on and on about how absolutely exhausting it was to deal with Comcast this morning. I will not.
I will say that this is the first year in which I almost went a whole day without someone referencing 9/11 on 9/11.
Also, my mom is a 3rd grade teacher and some of her kids? They hadn't even been born when it happened. I can't wrap my head around the fact that I am old enough, now, to remember something that other people weren't alive to see. I know it's silly to think like this. People are born every day and I'm older than all of them, still, it's odd. It's also very odd to think that 8 years have gone by. I remember watching the towers collapse that morning and thinking that I wasn't ever going to be able to see anything else; I honestly thought that that image would be burned into my retinas and anything I ever looked at after would be seen through a screen of that horror. I still think about it, but, I'm happy to say that if anything I see things more clearly and with more appreciation.
