RE: [PERSONAL] Two memories of the World Trade Center and stomping around NYC with my dad when I was a kid
Great post, and your blog post is so moving. it's lovely to read memories from before that day.
It's a little strange reading about it now, when you're from the UK. It's etched in our memories to yet it doesn't feel right to share them or the pain and grief you felt for so many people that you never met and the families you never will meet but still shed a tear for.
I think it is appropriate to share the pain and grief anywhere in the world because our countries have gone through so much tragedy through terrorism. Through those combined experiences, we all grieve and sadly understand what happened, then lift each other up from the rubble. I would hate to think what society would like if we became so numb to atrocity that we simply stopped caring.
