I have to say that would be what got us through that time......the next day we had to wake up and be strong and go on with our daily lives.....but, most of all I will remember how that day included a ton of pride and flags!!!!!!Geralyn Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018724054236770684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1525014332978540447.post-51464656116562876182012-09-10T12:29:51.612-04:002012-09-10T12:29:51.612-04:00We too visited the 9/11 Memorial in June and it wa...We too visited the 9/11 Memorial in June and it was one of the most moving experiences of my life. <br /><br />Honestly, my daughters, husband and I couldn't quite understand people posing and smiling at the memorial. None of us chose to do that. Instead, we mostly walked in silence, in tears, remembering. I did snap photos but not of us posing. <br /><br />As for the day of September 11th, I think it's as of all days of great loss - personal to each person. For me - it always happens to be the Birthday of a couple of people dear to me, so it can't be simply a day of mourning. <br /><br />Also, I tend to view mourning differently - that life still moves on even though we remember, so I'll be going out to lunch with a friend tomorrow, in the midst of my usual work day. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing. <3Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925694371363142572noreply@blogger.com
