09/11/01, five years later.
Sep. 11th, 2006 09:30 pmI didn't post on 09/11/01 - like most of the world, I'd suspect, I spent the evening watching news reports. But I did post the day after. Five years ago today, I wasn't sure there'd *be* a fifth anniversary to commemorate. It felt like the world was about to end.

If you haven't yet, read Two Weeks, by zaen. It's a sad, sweet, hopeful JuC story set during the two weeks following September 11th. [Link fixed. Thanks, zaen. :-)]
I lost my mother three weeks after 9/11, so I was still reeling from both the tragedy in NY and my own personal loss when I read the story. It made me cry, laugh and smile, and was cathartic. I've re-read it many times; it holds a special place in my heart. :-)
I DVR'd the Today show this morning, but about two minutes in they showed President Bush and I just couldn't watch any more. He sickens me. I'll be glad when he's gone.
Commemorating 9-11 by Impeaching the President, The Baltimore Chronicle.
Something else that got me all misty, but made me feel better in those first few weeks after: the I am an American public service announcements by the American Ad Council. I felt patriotic in a non-hysterical way, and that everything just might be okay some day.
