I watched TV for a week pretty much endlessly when it happened, and I cannot go back and look. It is profoundly sad, but I choose to look ahead and know that all those people who lost their lives that day are at peace and were part of plan larger than ourselves. If it made our country collect itself and remember how lucky we are to live here, than that is great. But we must move forward with honor for those who are gone, and be more vigilant and protective of the country we all love so much.Sue G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06796747936772028681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-77269584590932985902011-09-11T23:09:57.194+02:002011-09-11T23:09:57.194+02:00In spite of all the talk of remembering, it seems ...In spite of all the talk of remembering, it seems to me what most people are doing is reliving, and I have no interest in participating in that. <br /><br />A phrase that applies for me in this situation is, "Look back, but don't stare." Remember, yes. Honor, certainly. But without the public spectacle and syrupy sentimentality.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788610902096354682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-52042197363848004222011-09-11T16:21:16.802+02:002011-09-11T16:21:16.802+02:00I'm sort of with LuxeBytes.

I think it's important to remember those whose lives were taken, and those who gave their lives trying to help others, but I also hope that this one terrible day stops defining and determining who we are as a nation.Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-62575145837234445392011-09-11T16:16:41.272+02:002011-09-11T16:16:41.272+02:00Thank you Tish, we are still Americans regardless ...Thank you Tish, we are still Americans regardless of where we live now.
