A day that changes everything...
I can't quite believe that it was 7 years ago . I think most people can remember where , with whom they were on 9.11.2001. I was in NYC.. about a 1/2 mile up from the towers. We were working and someone came in the back and said: - A plane ACCIDENTALLY hit the WTC. We ran to a TV and began to watch... and from one plane... it became another, and another .. and from Accidentally.. it became an Act of Terrorism.
Still a bit surreal , what did I think back then that I was going to be doing 7 years later. So much has happened... mostly JUST GOOD.. but also bad, as in cancer.
With all due respect to all people affected by the 9/11 Tragedies... Cancer is much worse than 9/11. Not because I suffered through it... but the numbers are astonishing.
Every day 1500 people die of cancer in the US alone... so ..(again without offending anyone)... cancer kills as many people as 9/11 EVERY 2 DAYS!!!!! Crazy...
And don't get me started on all the money that has been spent by government to make something like a Revenge... or find the people who did it!!!
Please.. bring these kids HOME.... leave the land that IS NOT YOURS... and start spending the money on disease prevention and research ( amongst many others needy causes) ...
So for me.. the day that changed everything ... was 3.21.2007...... My 9/11.
Today I really MISS NEW YORK!!!!
big kiss to everyone...
